The reason you would be bigoted is because you have "an obstinate belief in the superiority of one's own opinions and a prejudiced intolerance of the opinions of others." This classification of you has NOTHING to do with others. Those people pushing their religion may be bigoted, but that doesn't give you a free pass to be bigoted back to others.
There's all these horribly misguided people EVERYWHERE.
So, you say that they are misguided, which is absolutely right, but then you say this:
We really should, we've wasted 3000 years of evolution due to religion now, and look where it's gotten us - absolutely NOWHERE.
how is that not completely misguided? You seem to think that because we have religion in this world that somehow that means that all of our technological advances and cultural advances have gotten us nowhere. You are looking at the problem of religion (and the whole of religion isn't the problem, only parts of it...otherwise religion can be very beneficial in the lives of people who don't care how the world or even their mind works) and you are painting it over the entirety of the world as if nothing else matters because religion still exists.
We, as humans, have accomplished so much in the past 3,000 years, and we have ALWAYS accomplished it beside religion. Religion, when practiced with a deep understanding of balance, can be the most important tool in someone's life for being happy and for exploring our spiritual side. (you, as an atheist, can simply see spirituality as a sort of sync between one's thoughts, feelings, and their reactions to the outside world...and how can that not be important?)
Now back to the movie:
Whoever the hell thinks this movie is somehow TRULY religious is joking themselves. The rapture is a joke, it is a complete farce of the bible, meant only to produce an AWESOME environment for the movie. I think that the movie was awesome, and I do not hold for or against religion. I understand both sides of the argument, and I don't see how this could offend anyone. I loved that comment about it being christian propaganda by the way, especially since they made it very clear that many of them were JEWISH as others pointed out. Did anyone hear a mention of Jesus in the entire movie? Neither did I.
I love how the internet is literally at everyone's fingertips, and still people can make ignorant statements. Do your research when you talk about something, it takes maybe 1 or 2 minutes! And if you are too lazy to, then don't post at all and save your ignorance for someone that will listen to it.
