A lot of religious people take the bits of their religion that they believe will be benificial to their lives, and not the detrimental bits. When's the last time you heard about a christian stoning someone to death? Not all of them try to convert everyone around them. My mum's a christian - she married an atheist, had 4 children, one decided to join the church when she was 18, I'm an atheist and have been since I was about 10. Not all christians take YOUR interpretation of the bible Alex.
