Believe it or not I already knew that religion has caused you personal pain. I almost posted it but thought that it would either be a personal attack or in some way flame baiting. Every time I find someone as fired up on the issue as you in a debate it is usually the case.
Trust me I have had debates with many an atheist on the subject. People have used much worse language and have actually attacked me. I am in no way offended.
But you should be able to respect the belief with out agreeing with it. Disagreeing with someone should in no way affect the respect for the person or their beliefs. You just see no reason to believe as they do and I can respect it without agreeing.
