But some people here seems to be projecting the attitude that religious faith is a horrible thing which should be shoved in to some dark corner and shunned.

That's what happens when people get polarized. Somehow it starts. Then one side reacts. Then the other side reacts to the reaction and off we go.

My sense of the position of the religious right is that their god made the world and particularly the US part of it, that they can and should crow about it at every possible occasion, that those of us who don't accept their beliefs are vermin who should go to hell figuratively because we're going to end up there literally sooner or later, praise the Lord. The attitude you speak of is a perfectly normal reaction to what I described. The counter reaction from the religious crowd is that their right to freedom of speech is being violated and then my side thinks that's the pot calling the kettle black. And on and on.

I am convinced this is not an insoluble problem if everyone would just quit posturing and listen to each other.
