I saw this interesting documentary called, "The Root of All Evil", and it truly opened my eyes. I agree with all of what Richard Dawkins was saying.

The only problem is that Dawkins takes an even smaller-minded view of the world than most ultra-orthodox people. He selectively quotes various religions without actually looking at how they're practiced - the scriptures are only a small part of any religion.
As for my own views, I'd describe myself as a very accepting agnostic. I grew up in an orthodox Jewish family and went to an ultra-orthodox school but I ultimately found that I don't believe in god anymore. That said, my background has given me respect for people who do believe in god so that I see military atheists (see: Dawkins) as being just as bad as missionarising theists.
