In general, we do not believe that there are such things as souls to be saved.
We are so worried about our souls as we are of not receiving Christmast presents from Santa this year.

We? Hearsay.
Yes, only a minority of people believe what you believe, concerning souls to be saved by prophets that gave their passover weekend for our sins.
For what concerns me, personally, I think it is quite a ridicolus proposition.

Just trying to do my part to reduce the negative impacts religion has on the world.

So the only choice is between believing in the Bible and being an atheist? Then people wonder why I call atheists illogical!
Who would know more about cars in general: someone who has tried out many different cars but found none to his liking, or someone who has only ever driven the one car they inherited from their parents and refuses to even look at any other?
Most atheist spend the time learning abour religion before they become atheists. It's often a big part of the reason they become atheists.
Why do medical researchers spend so much time studying diseases they don't want to get?
That is rude thing to say to someone you don't know. That I negatively impact the world. What do you think your doing here that makes the world better.
Are you saying if you became a theist you would die?
No, I'm not saying that.
The impact of religion on the world is much bigger than any one person.

Did I make that claim or even imply it? When you cannot reason logically you should never accuse others of not reasoning logically.
"It's illogical to decide to be a pedestrian if you've only driven one car!"
Religion isn't a being or animal capable of anything. It's people. So, again it's a horrible thing to say to someone, you are why the world sucks. Especially when you don't even know them.

The standard Ninth Commandment is an order not to bear false witness. It goes beyond mere lying. What you said about me was not correct. Even if you believed it it would still be "false witness". In other words it tells you to be very careful when you say something about another person. Actually one of the better commandments when well understood.

How did I "bear false witness"? What DID I say about you?

Take it up with mccainisthroughX, who wrote it. I assume you've noted that it's the name of the video.

That's right: billions of people. Your impact on the world in the name of religion isn't even the rounding error for the impact of the entire religious population on the world in the name of religion.
I'm not saying that. I'm not even sure what religion you are.
Edit: to use an analogy: saying "our car-centric culture costs thousands of lives every year" does not imply "you, the person I'm speaking to, are a dangerous driver."

Ah, vocal Christians such as yourself are the last ones who should be talking about obsession.

To cure them largely. I hope you are not comparing religions to "diseases". For your own sake.
I am. Why is that bad?
