I understand many religious people's motives behind preaching about religion quite often is, all intended good nature. However, this may not be true, for one reason or another. But when it comes to non religious natured people, why exactly do they make comments and are so genuinley active in discussing it? Just briefly as possible could you say why you discuss it so often and why sometimes so extremely.
Here is an example of what I mean.
1: (Me) I discuss religion because I wish to get people on both sides of religion to realise each others point of views so that they can get on with each other without resorting to anger whcih stops all possibility to become understanding and respectful nature.
2: (Someone else religious) I wish to discuss religion because I wish to convert people who are not religious to my faith so that they may be saved from eternal damnation, (or another similar reason).
3: (Atheist). I wish to discuss religion because I percieve religion or any religious belief to be a delusion such as anything similar to belief in anything that is non verifiable, and wish to uncovert believers from their delusion. (other reasons could be because religion causes children to be abused, or that religion starts wars etc etc).
All I ask is for a paragraph that really contains no banter or insults on either party, just what the reasosn behind your discussing religion is.
On a personal note, I myself am religious, and believe in many religions. But I also believe in fairness and equality, so I am willing to listen and respect other parties opinions.
I have also taken the liberty of placing a poll to allow more silent members to express their opinions.
