It's kinda sad to see atheists become so religious with their views

Religious atheists may seem like an oxymoron, but in the sense of "religious" meaning zealously devoted to something, it's a valid term. Atheists who make atheism something they have to preach to people with the hopes of turning others to their beliefs, while also criticizing those who do follow religion for doing the same thing, they've become the very thing that they hate and are just too radical to realize it! That's what makes it so sad, they like to say they're so much more rational than religious fanatics, when they're just a different kind of fanatic who can't be reasoned with. I'm sure I'm gonna get a few of those types of atheists who aim to prove me wrong, only to end up proving my point, but whatever. This is just me thinking aloud.

Eh, there are rational reasons to want less religion in the world, most of which ultimately boil down to non-empiricist ideology benefiting ideas and proposals which are disconnected from reality. I can't stomach debates on religion these days but I respect those who can.

And honestly, if you think there's any hypocrisy in wanting less religion while also championing an ideology, you've kinda missed the point.
