Atheism is Indeed A Civil Rights Issue

I am still confused how religion has even survived into this modern world. Sure we can't prove there isn't a God, but can anyone prove there is one either?

That's not a valid argument, as it works both ways.

Please, name something thet religion has disproved in science. I can think of many things science has disproved about religion (i.e. we orbit the Sun).

Religion doesn't exist to disprove science and science doesn't exist to disprove religion. Religious beliefs can be the answer to "why", as science is the answer to "how." Many themes described in various religious texts have been shown to be inaccurate such as the sun revolving around the Earth. However, you'd be naïve to think that every book pertaining to various faiths has gone uneditted since the original editions. I believe stories were added as time went on in order to continue relevance in then-modern societies. Hell, if I remember correctly, the Tanakh (a book of Jewish belief) described the theory of multiple dimensions way before any scientist had even pondered upon such a thought. Who's to say faith and science can't coexist?

Religion has become mankind's excuse to persecute and betray humankind. Religion is still persecuting everything from homosexuality to Aeithism, there is NO doubt about it. Religion has time in and time out stripped the rights away from anyone willing to think for one's self. It is merely a fierce dictator ship with a death grip on this world. We fight against people who are perecuting other religions or carry out violence in the name of it (i.e. the Middle East), but we continue to practice it ourselves. IF anything is done it has always been a long struggle, and fought against 'til the very end. Reason needs to take over. No person should be persecuted, but simple reason should be the basis of mankind's thinking. Nothing else.

This is a gross overgeneralization, as many religions have not ever been involved in such activities. Ever hear of the Deists' holy war? Me neither.

Granted, hate stemming from personal belief is a very real and dangerous thing. Far too many people have struck out against another in the name of their god. However, to blame only their faith isn't right, as they themselves are the ones that have interpretted and acted in accordance to what they've deciphered. Religious fanaticism is the cause.
