The post you are reporting:
For a minute there I was fully expecting another of Rick's double-barrelled anti-religion blasts and the hackles were rising; instead of which a quite tame missive (or should that be missile)! I've not watched South Park, but I know it has a big following, some of whom are friends and whose judgement I would generally agree with. Essentially, though, Islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked by fundamentalists to the extent where it is widely distrusted, and I cannot blame anyone for mistrust of religion.
My sister married into the Plymouth Brethren religion - my brother-in-law was raised in that religion and decided to leave it when he married my sister. For those of you who are unaware of the Plymouth Brethren, they follow an elitist and exclusionist belief that anyone outside their faith is tainted and beneath them. By marrying outside the religion, my brother-in-law was disowned by his own family (his Grandparents never spoke to him again, and his father only ever spoke to him about business; to this day, cousins and other members of his family will not sit down with him or sleep under the same roof) and his friends turned their backs on him. You'll understand that I have strong emotions over this subject, so my words may be a little stronger than perhaps they ought to be, but in my opinion any 'religion' that splits families in this manner is nothing to do with the teachings of Christ, it's the work of the Devil. It's evil, pure and simple, and on a human level it's incredibly arrogant to look down on another human being as though they were lesser beings because they don't happen to share your faith.
All of which leads to believe that Rick's atheism isn't so bad. Better to live ones life without a faith than to live it as a bigot.
