Don't deny non-believers or anti-theists the right to call it fantasy as it fits the definition perfectly. Like Dragons, Unicorns and Leprechauns there is not a shred of evidence that God exists. And of course in the case of all four the absence of disproof is not at all evidence of proof.
I'd also ask you to consider how arrogant religion is to those who choose not to partake. The thought that you made the right choice out of the tens of thousands of religions that have existed since time began, beyond arrogant is it not?
Believe if you want to believe, many people find solace in spirituality or faith, I find it in the faces of the people I love.

I admire your fervor and your knowledge on this subject, but the fact of the matter is that nothing you can say can shake my faith. I am a Roman Catholic, and despite what many may think, most of us are hardworking, respectable people. To any devout member of any organized religion, very little can be said that would cause them to stop believing, because only those people with doubts in their hearts and weak minds can be swayed. I do not see the Bible as law, it is merely a set of stories used to help influence you to do the right things. If others may see it as law, then that is fine with me. So, even if you brought me scientific proof that God didn't exist that was indisputible, I would still not stop believing in Him.
It also strikes me as odd, how you continually try to discredit an entire relgion, and then claim that the religion is arrogant. Although there are people who try to force their beliefs on others, I don't. So, in effect, everytime you tell me God isn't real and insult me for my faith, it's the same as me telling you you're going to Hell.
