So I guess if the whole news about the number of people who believe in evolution bummed you out, there's some good news. Of course, that doesn't mean religion is completely the problem, just that people who use it for their own personal and selfish motives, which is obviously puts off other people.
What is, is not; what is not, is.

A lot of those are probably Christians who spout the "It's not a religion, it's a relationship with God" meme, though.

As Old Viking so eloquently put it on the ProBoards forums: "Atheism isn't a religion, its a relationship with reality."

Good people do good deeds, bad people do bad deeds.
Religion makes good people do bad deeds.
