They can be even more atached to them, respect them, and reinforce them (far) more than narrow minded fanatics. |

Good points. If we're all monkeys, why should I not kill other people? Why should I not eat them? Where's the reasoning behind that? Will society boil down to "might makes right" - the only reason why you should not kill others is that the government says not to, and that they have the power to imprison you if you do?
Yep, even atheists have beliefs of some sort, even if it's only the belief that there isn't a God. There's no "proof" either way. I suppose that's why they're called beliefs.
One more thing - why are many people so adamant that people with religion shouldn't be allowed to participate in government or public affairs and public commentary? That "there is no God" is a religious view in itself, in terms of category. Furthermore, even if not, then people with religion still count as citizens and should be accorded every right that any other citizen has, including the ability to speak in public, be a president or be a judge.
