I’m a non-believer myself, but find very few groups other than atheists to be more obnoxious. IRL, very few people know I’m an atheist. They’re(we’re) the vegans of the minority group world. It annoys me, if someone finds comfort in a higher power, that’s wonderful they can find that solace. I’m not fortunate enough to though. And that’s ok.

If you’re secure in what it is that you do or do not believe, then why do you care?

I am agnostic but I for one don't believe half the people in the world truly believe in god and only use it as decoration.
I did a lot of work for white woman in the dallas area over the past few years. Every time we'd enter a house, we wuld not they had the same thing. A wall of crosses. "Christian sayings" on the walls, etc. You would think they would be nice christian woman but nope...most were raging bitches who harassed my workers or would make ever excuse not to pay.

Middle school.
Some people just never grow out of that phase.

Oddly enough most athletes and celebs are always praising god

I think the widespread use of the Internet is mostly to blame here. A lot of kids would have hundreds of questions to ask, but only their elders would be available to ask. Nowadays it's much easier to get a good, quick answer from the Internet. The Internet not only can provide answers to practically any conceivable question within reason, it can provide viewpoints from a countless population.
A kid in the 90s could only ask "is God real?" from so many people, and an overwhelming majority of the answers would be "Duh!"
Today, a kid could google "is God real?" and get a few different answers.

As long as no one is being hurt or anyone's rights are violated, it shouldn't matter what others believe. And frankly the prospect of an afterlife is a lot more comforting than what we believe in; no need to bum anyone else out.
These parents ask do you believe in god? and act they they are too smart or cool to believe in anything after death.

Just look at the OP's avatar pic. He hardly seems to be a paragon of Christian virtue, but by god he's going to act like a pharisee and stand on the corner announcing how godly he is.

Every weekend I go to my boys' events, run into other parents and we start small talking. Inevitably, "what do you having going on the rest of the weekend?" question is asked of me. I'll reply with church on Sunday morning and get a double take. These parents ask do you believe in god? and act they they are too smart or cool to believe in anything after death.
I go to events all the time and mention, if asked that I attend church on Sunday and not once have I had anyone give me a double take and ask me if I believe in god.
Never.

When TV, radio, telegrams, the frickin printing press were invented.
When microscopes and telescopes were invented.
Suddenly we all came to know miracles are a sham, people who claim miracles happen are delusional or liars.
Hume's famous argument about miracles started to make more sense to all of us.

Correct-a-roo.
The last 500 years have been science proving a topic that was originally explained differently in the bible... then religion taking a step back. Science proving more, religion takes another step back... and so on

That’s odd to the point I don’t believe it’s happened more than once.
People sometimes ask me where I go to church. I say, “I don’t go.” And that’s always the end of that part of the conversation.

I'm sure a lot of people will celebrate this, but I'll be interested in long term views of morality without a religious upbringing.
Atheists dont really believe in anything other than "there's no God".
You're going to have a wide array of children that are going to be raised with a completely random sense of morality, or whatever their parents decided for themselves what is "right".
Not saying religion is the answer, but Christianity has proven to be the best version of any religious sect that gives everyone a common sense of morality and allows for the growth of a species in terms of technology and innovation.
Now we're already seeing the complete randomness of various moral sense and its cutting at one of the main things that used to be a commonality in this country, which is Judeo-christian values.

Link?
IMO our species has grown in terms of technology and innovation in spite of religion not because of it.
