//I hate the image that is thrown upon religious people, in general. It's all, "If you don't believe in what we believe in, then we hate you."
No. That's not how it works.
I go to a Catholic school. I have at least four friends who are atheists. They're only going to the school because their parents paid for them to be there and it's a really nice school. But because they're atheists, do I shut them out? Hell no. They're awesome people and I love them to death. The best part? They're respectful. Sometimes we have an all-school Mass and they still go and they stand there quietly, not trying to interrupt or distract anyone.
I think a good portion of society needs to pull their heads out of their asses and realize that religious people aren't all dicks.
