I am an Atheist, and strongly believe religion have done most of the wrong doings that have happend in the world til now.
Lately many muslims are coming to our countries telling us we need to respect their faith and beliefs.. sometimes also telling us we need to make special schools for their children, build mosks etc etc.. This makes me angry as i will never respect any form of religion.. I can respect people, and that they have some kind of belief… but never their god or religion.. exept for Buddhism who do not advocate belief in gods.
Here i have found some videos made by a guy i find to say exactly what i believe.. very good work… share these videos amongst your religious friends and help us stop this religious nonsense

Atheism, in a broad sense, is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is
specifically the position that there are no deities. Most inclusively, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist. Atheism is contrasted with theism which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists.
The term atheism originated from the Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning “without god”, which was applied with a negative
connotation to those thought to reject the gods worshipped by the larger society. With the spread of freethought, skeptical inquiry, and subsequent increase in criticism of religion, application of the term narrowed in scope. The first individuals to identify themselves as “atheist” appeared in the 18th century.
Today, about 2.3% of the world’s population describes itself as atheist, while a further 11.9% is described as nonreligious. Between 64% and 65% of Japanese are atheists, agnostics, or do not believe in God. In Europe, the estimated percentage of atheists, agnostics and other nonbelievers in a personal god ranges as low as single digits in Poland, Romania, Cyprus, and some other countries, and up to 85% in Sweden (where 17% identify themselves as atheists), 80% in Denmark, 72% in Norway, and 60% in Finland.
Atheists tend to lean toward skepticism regarding supernatural claims, citing a lack of empirical evidence. Atheists have offered several rationales for not believing in any deity. These include the problem of evil, the argument from inconsistent revelations, and the argument from nonbelief. Other arguments for atheism range from the philosophical to the social to the historical. Although some atheists have adopted secular philosophies,there is no one ideology or set of behaviors to which all atheists adhere.
In Western culture, atheists are frequently assumed to be exclusively irreligious or unspiritual. However, atheism also figures in certain religious and spiritual belief systems, such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. Jainism and some forms of Buddhism do not advocate belief in gods,whereas Hinduism holds atheism to be valid, but difficult to follow spiritually.
