It starts to tick people off when the religion folks try to shuffle their beliefs in to places where it doesn't belong. It's like shoving a car exaust up your ass, it doesn't fit OR belong there...
In the context of a thread, you must remember that the atheists have just as much power to destroy it as the religionists by posting (as many have) that religion is evil and should be destroyed.

Religious discusions are easy to do, as long as people relise the meaning of "discusion"
Hear, hear.

I don't have a problem with religion because I hate the believers. I hate it because religion is responsible for most of the suffering in this world, which is kind of ironic. Most big wars were faught over religion.
Hmm... I'm not too sure about this one. I think in many cases the same wars would have happened even if religion didn't exist. Sometimes Religion is just the excuse for doing what people already want to do.

One example would be the wars between England, France and Spain in the middle ages. They really were about territorialism and colonisation but the excuse was difference in religion.

Another example would be Israel vs Palestinians. When you look closer at the situation, the religious differences between the groups have not come into play at all. It's all about two nations claiming rights to one parcel of land. It's territorialism, not religionism.
