It's too bad that these discussions often turn into something akin to the big kids mocking the little kids for believing in Santa.
If we as non-believers were able to extend the same respect to religious types that we, ourselves want (mainly, the ability to freely believe what you want), maybe we'd see some extended back to us. It happens already on a small scale.
The ultimate irony is that the precept of self-reliance, one most non-believers adhere to, is virtually ignored when someone else belittles our decision to not believe. If you really want to be self-reliant, how about not giving a shit when someone says you're going to hell. Don't get me wrong, i'm guilty of this myself
