Here in lies the hypocrisy of religion, the culprit behind the majority of modern discrimination.
Aethism, like Christianity, has strong lines drawn between what the title means literally, and the actions of those who self-identify as such.

To put it bluntly, fake aethists hate fake religious people.

if a literal aethist were to encounter a literal christian (for the sake of argument), they likely wouldn't find much disagreement.

An aethist doubtful, and a christian humble with the knowledge that their belief system is not very logical.

But this isn't what we see in reality and the self-identified Aethiests like Bill Mahr go make movies about how dumb religious people actually are.

Their biggoted. Your belief in religion has always been a private thing, regardless of what it was. You bring it outside to make it a political issue and to segregate.

I understand them being fed up, but you either sink to a level or stand on principle. I read Hitchens book at least, and his points are valid, but the bredth of aethiests aren't as civil.
