You ignorant atheists see religion as nothing but a burden to society, a realm of spewing hate and nonsense. I'm atheist myself, but I fully understand and support the need for religion in some parts of the society.
Religion isn't entirely evil. Religion helps support others, and give people guidelines to life.
Whether or not you agree with those guidelines is completely irrelevant, because plenty of people get off fine with religious guidelines today.
Just because YOU want it removed doesn't deem it purposeless to the rest of society.
