Here is an idea I've been using to annoy my fundie friends...  Technically, everyone is agnostic.  You see, what 95% of all religions have in common is the requirement of faith.  One definition of faith, according to Merriam-Webster online, is "firm belief in something for which there is no proof".  The bible defines it as " the evidence of things unseen".  Nearly all religions require you to first of all, believe in their particular version of god. 

  But, here's the thing.  You can't have 'faith' in something without admitting that there is no proof for it.  Sure, you can point to all sorts of 'evidence', like ancient documents, supposed miracles, images appearing in toast, etc...  But, the fact is there is no solid, scientifically documented proof, of any god.  Now an agnostic can be described as one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of god or a god.  Agnostics believe their is no proof of god. The first order of religion is to accept god without proof. So, in a way, religion requires an underlying basis of agnosticism as a stairway to faith.  Religions continuosly indoctrinate and reindoctrinate their followers to bridge the gap between accepting there's no proof for god and having the faith to believe anyway.  What do you think?

PS   Of course this doesn't apply to atheists because they Know there is no god.  But, isn't that sort of a faith itself?

Why is it we live in a world where it is considered a positive thing to believe in something unnatural, impossible and unproven. Also why should people who's only reference materials are 100 of yrs old have a moral monopoly and make important social decisions based upon these deluded ideals. Abortion, contraception, stem cell research etc.
This IS an attack at religion, not necessarily the people who believe. I find it hard to believe that as parents, religious people are teaching their children the values of blind faith against scientific discourse and sceptical questioning. So many times the trust bestowed upon religious figures is betrayed and the young and vunerable become victims.
Lets start a new enlightenment and campaign for the end of public indoctrination of children. Let's campaign for the sessation of religious labelling of children, you wouldn't label a child a Marxist or Socialist child because of it's parent's political views. Religion does nothing but impede our progression as a race and should be dropped quickly.
To all the faithful out there who have read this and I've angered, forgive me.
I don't respect your faith in something so obviously a fabrication and I don't appreciate the respect (and monetary gains) society gives to organised religion.

A man who hears voices in his head is deemed mad until enough people believe in his rantings then he becomes a prophet.

It seems me being religious bothers you more than you being atheists bothers me. Your belief doesn't bother me at all, I'm not trying to convert any of you. But everytime I post something you guys try to make me like you. So, I think you guys are bothered by me. I don't care that you can bring up quotes from the bible and put down every major religion. Why must you try to put down what I believe in? Because it bothers you. You guys type why must I believe in a god? You don't have to, I'm not trying to make you. You guys don't bother me, but I guess I bother you. Listen people, getting rid of religion isn't going to solve all of your problems. There'll still be war, people always want power. Plus, I'm a human, I care and bleed just like anyone else. I'm not a monkey, (although we've evolved from them) my brain isn't any less efficient. We're all humans, with our own beliefs and that's what makes us all unique.
