Nevertheless, some of the brightest minds in the English-speaking world right now argue that religion is the problem. And we know they’re the brightest minds because they keep telling us they are. The New Atheists are positively evangelical. They want to make a convert out of you, although if you’re a “dyed-in-the-wool faith-head” they’ll settle for peppering you with insults and sarcasm instead.
What is most worrying is that the New Atheists seem to gain the most followers precisely among the most ambitious and intelligent young people—the people who will be actively shaping government policy in the years to come. Attracted by the intellectual rebelliousness of the movement, young people fall for its insidious message: "Join us and you can be one of the smart people".
What we call the “New Atheism” is a bit different than its predecessor. It’s more aggressive, and it has more power. The leaders of the sect are well placed in the academic world, and they have a strong determination to mold government policy.
And you wouldn’t like the government if the New Atheists molded its policy. Richard Dawkins has asserted that teaching your religion to your child is a form of child abuse and should be criminalized. Other New Atheists have argued that churches should have to post a sign reading “for entertainment purposes only,” since after all they’re no less a fraud than telephone psychics.
The New Atheists see religion as a disease to be exterminated. Their dream, in short, is not a government neutral to religion, but a government actively hostile to religion.

I see some of the same people in every thread about God or any mention about Jesus Christ, get so angry at atheists or agnostics. Because they don't believe in God. They say, God doesn't exist. The real world tells us why they're so angry.
It's because they know, that we know that God doesn't exists. Everyone knows God doesn't exists. The Bible says this:
"blah blah blah blah blah blah"
What this is saying is, on that day of hoopity blooh blah, you will not be able to say, "God, I didn't know you were made of spaghettis" or "God, I didn't understand how tasty you are."
This goes to the heart as to why people who say God exists are so anchored into the real world. I have never debated people that are more angry than theists. A woman believes in God and it gives her comfort when a child dies and she's not an idiot for not believing in some imaginary guy in the sky.
Why does it bother theists that people don't believe their bull# God? If you believe, fine but why take it out on the atheist that doesn't believe? Not just at them but mostly at their scrutinizing of a God they say doesn't exist?
Again, it's because they know God does not exists. They hate the fact that they know God does not exists. They don't just want to be separate from God, they literally have good points as to why he doesn't exist, and want God removed from things like, everything. They don't want the knowledge of God's existence being scrutinized.
This is the tower of Babel, where it was okay for God to play with free will.
Mystery Babylon , whatever that means.
The flesh or carnal mind wants to do as it pleases and it wants to be a law unto itself. That's why they believe in thousand years old mythologies.
The spiritual mind vs the realistic mind
The Bible says, "bibbity boppity boop" and they clearly see and understand that. "Understand"
This is why they're so brainwashed about God who they say exists. They know he doesn't exist.
God through their mental gymnastic minds is constantly known to them. So no matter what they do, that voice enters their mind. "You know that everyone other than you should burn in hell"
This is the knowledge of absolutely nothing, that sears their conscious like a munchausen by proxy. The Bible says:
"Hardy har blipity boopity"
So when you see people so angry at Atheists, and they claim God exists, it's because their conscious is seared by their lack of knowledge of reality.
They want to live in a world with the knowledge of a God that doesn't exist, because they can't get any comfort in a world without one. But they can't because it's our Lord and Savior Darwin that sustains us. It gives us life. Your spiritual mind is dead, it's nothing once you die. You will only be left with a rotting corpse and the people you left behind to pay for how your remains are managed.
