BIGGEST MOSQUE IN POLAND! - Gdansk [42]
Your basic premise that we need religion to know right from wrong is not true.
I believe civilization is better off with faith in invisible things, which, invariably, involves God.
A culture which has faith in itself:

2. If not religion, one would worship something else, not true - I'm against any worshiping. One can definitely live without it.
When you call yourself an atheist, an enemy of "worshiping", you are professing to know something you cannot possibly know.
But I really don't have much of a problem with that as long as you don't try forcing it down everyone's throat. That is at least as annoying as an evangelical religious person of any stripe. In fact, it is exactly the same thing.
3. I think the problem in Russia was the communism, another unreasonable ideology... but if you and A.S. want to call it lack of God, I have no intention of arguing with that type of logic.
Every single country that forcibly dismantled organized religion as we know it (the wet dream of any and all "I'm smarter then fairytale-worshipers" activist) turned out to be some sort of murderous concentration camp dictatorship, and a complete screw-up in any category that counts other than building weapons and creating tension.
4. People that fight so hard for religion are the ones that are unable to accept their own mortality. This "screaming in the night" you so dread is of your own making. For many, religions are more terrifying than the cycle of nature.
Atheists only appear to be right if your intellectual level is that of a child. There isn't a simgle argument made by Dawkins or Hitchens, much less by "F Stop", that any of us didn't thought about when we were 13. It takes a greater deal of intellectual maturity to comprehend metaphysical concepts. Reason is easy, which is why liberals like it so much. True metaphysical thinking is hard as f*ck, which is why concept such as that of genius, truth, and even god, simply transcend the ability of the modern individual to understand. You can see the childishness of the atheist by his tendency to chose easy and predictable targets for his invectives. You will never see an atheist tackle somebody like Dostoevsky. Indeed, it would never occur to an atheist because his intellectual level isn't developed enough to even contemplate the argument presented by a true metaphysician.
