I do have an amount of pity for people with extreme religious views. I remember talking to an atheist friends extremely religious mother who was trying to come to to terms with the fact her daughter was going to go to hell one day.

Imagine walking through the park and seeing someone about to eat an ice cream that you know has a powerful psychoactive substance in that will kick in after few years that tricks the persons brain into believing they're being tortured until their brain turns to mush.

I absolutely don't agree with people spreading their religious doctrine, especially when unwelcome, but many of those people could be considered victims to that choice and don't deserve to be antagonised.
