Ahh, Religion. There is a great TED talk by Richard Dawkins about the idea of 'militant atheism". A few of my favorite quotes from it:
quoting Bertrand Russell: "you strictly have to be agnostic about whether there is a teapot in orbit around mars, but that doesn't mean you treat the likelihood of it's existence as on all-four with it's non existence."

On religious logic (what if scientific papers used it):"Professor Hadley was brought up to have total and unquestioning faith that an asteroid killed the dinosaurs"

"We are all atheists about most of the gods humanity has ever believed in, some of us just go one god further."
