i think they hate religion because they only believe in visible or real thing. they don't believe anything that can't be proved. then, they only think all just can be digested by logic. most of atheist people are they who were far away from spiritual values since they were still children
They don't only believe visible or real things. Many (most?) of them believe that the Big Bang was real. Yet they have no evidence of it that can't be contradicted. Even BB theorists have at least 3 major BB theories that are not compatible with each other.
What does atheist faith in BB theory mean? It means that they are believing in something not logical. Oh sure. Some of the parts of BB theory might be logical. But believing that Big Bang itself is truth is not logical. This means that atheists have a science religion, or have turned science into a religion, by believing something that is NOT fact, and most likely could not be fact.
If atheists understand this, they probably hate religion because they can't get away from it. Even their talk that they don't believe in religion, is simply faith in a non-religion religion.
Good point BADecker. Nobody likes to face the possibility that they are wrong and have been for a long time. It's even harder to admit that your parents or the society you are from is wrong. This is one thing some religions have going over science- at least believing in a higher intelligence would make you acknowledge that you probably don't understand what is actually going on in the universe. I think this is why followers of the science religion are so into space travel and sci fi. For one, you can logically see that the culture we are living in is going to use up all the resources, and the only way all of our life's work isn't going to just disappear is to expand into space. Secondly, it is logically inevitable given the size of the visible universe, and the fact that there are other star systems in the galaxy much older than our own, and other galaxies much older than our galaxies, that there are more developed, more intelligent species out there, that can teach us about the universe.
The hypothesis that angels are actually aliens makes a lot of sense to me. Beings of superior intelligence with amazing powers that somehow come from the heavens. If the nature of reality were indeed spiritual, it would make sense that the people who hang out with angels a lot are considered saints or prophets. I mean, if a race were to become highly advanced and there is a supreme deity or spiritual reality, surely they would become highly aware of it. So perhaps the contact with aliens has already taken place, and they have already taught us about incredible technologies, but those technologies are spiritual rather than mechanical. Perhaps to them things like particular accelerators and rockets seem incredibly crude, when we have the ability to travel through the universe at faster than the speed of light using astral projection, or the ability to mentally download information from a universal internet without the use of computers. What if it is pride and vanity that keeps us developing these crude technologies because we are rejecting the technologies that aliens have already brought us in the form of vibrations and thought frequencies, that atheists then laugh off as archaic prayers?
