Christianity and other religions are essentially harmful, in the view of the foundation, which claims 5,000 members, most of them atheists who make small donations.

Another example of oversimplifying. It's the people at the extremes of this debate who are causing all the trouble. Neither side is willing to let others just be.

The left can't tolerate morality in law because that would stop them from murdering innocent babies.

When it comes to abortion, it's really not got any shades of gray. A baby is killed, or a baby is not killed.

When it comes to murder (lawful or not) it really is necessary for folks to take a firm position.

The 'extremists cause all the problems' approach is also myopic.

There is only one correct way to live and that's in obedience to how God has created our lives by His plan.

There are religious extremists, who fail to follow His plan, but are believers not walking His walk, but fall into arrogance of becoming 'Christian activists' and 'do-gooders'. That form of arrogance becomes degenerate, but morally degenerate. It is frequently associated with legalism and religiosity. There are other believers who fall away from God, become carnal in immoral degeneracy and are associated with lasciviousness.

There are also unbelievers, who follow either their own relative interpretation of good which is good for nothing from a divine viewpoint, but still morally degenerate. There are also unbelievers who become immorally degenerate and fall into criminality.

The first stages of arrogance open up a worldly system that simply opposes the plans for living created by God. The later stages of such rebellion lead to an arrogance that attacks the institutions God has created for mankind to survive.

The real issue isn't extremism, because those who are luke warm will be spit out of His mouth. Rather, those who persevere and walk with Him continually and fervantly become spiritual soldiers, continually indwelt and filled with the Holy Spirit, ...a status never before held by believers until this present Church Age. To most believers who have slipped into a cosmic system, characterized by forms of arrogance, and to unbelievers, who in their arrogance have chosen to avoid and never accept God, the truthful Godly walk isn't so identified, but is errantly refocused on cheap counterfeit worldly systems of thinking.

Cool. These atheists tithe to their religion of nothingness.
