You see. I know the atheist movement ran high on Reddit and flamed out.

I'm typically the guy that's very live and let live and if you asked me if there's any danger to believing in a God I'd just say, "you do you".

However, we get people that are in control or are being controlled that are making decisions that affect everyone based on this stuff. Stem cell research, abortions, sex work, gay rights, porn ID, climate change, evolution ... like I just don't know what to think.

People should be allowed to believe what they will, but never allowed to use their religion as an argument for why a certain policy must or must not be enacted. Separation of church and state is key

Religion is fine when you're sticking to your own beliefs. The second it is forced on others, or making other people follow your religion's rules, then we have a problem.
