Brace yourself- this one's about religion.

So I was listening to some Circa Survive today, and I had always thought that many of their songs contain traces of atheism, so I decided to google search the members of the band to see if they were, in fact, atheists. I couldn't find any info, so I did what was probably the worst idea; I turned to Yahoo! Answers. This was my question, verbatim:

Is Circa Survive considered an atheist band?
I've been listening to both of their albums quite a bit lately, and I can't help but get the feeling that a lot of their songs have to deal with religion. The two songs that come to mind are 1000 Witnesses and Kicking Your Crosses Down. I might be biased because I'm an atheist, but I want to get some other opinions.

My first response was a simple "No." Thanks, dickhead, for all your valuable input.
My second response was "I don't think so..." So, what, you're passing along your insecurities in your answer onto me? Real helpful.
So along comes an answerer with the name "JASON BOURNE," who writes, "I don't get this. Although you like their music, you're not going to listen to them because some of their songs are about religion. That makes you just as bad as religious ***** that think rock is satanic." with his loving Source being "I'll assassinate you."

I have many problems with this response, the two major ones being:
A) Where, in my question, did I imply that I would stop listening to their music?
B) The whole point of my question was to FIND OUT if their songs were religious or anti-religious. He's acting as if I had said "CIRCA SURVIVE IS STUPID BECAUSE THEY PREACH IN THEIR SONGS." I honestly don't care either way. Did religion stop me from listening to Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" or Led Zeppelin's "Stairway?" No, and it never will.

While I eventually did get a reasonable response, I just couldn't get over the ignorance displayed by Mr. Bourne, if that IS his real name. People hear "religion" and they get all defensive. While I don't believe in it, I'm not going to go out of my way to attack you for believing. Honestly, I have better things to do, and if you chose to follow a doctrine that teaches you to be a good person and to respect others, good for you. Me? I've decided to be a good person on my own, and I likewise expect not to be attacked for it.

Religion doesn't make a person, religion is something a person believes in. I've met some pretty terrible Christians who don't follow the teachings of their belief at all; likewise, I've met many atheists who think it's their job to denounce people's faith. I'm not about to go pointing out these people's flaws to them, because, no matter what you believe in, you have to understand that every person has a right to believe what they want to believe, and to behave how they want to behave. No Christian has the right to tell anybody else that their beliefs are wrong, not unless they have some pretty hard evidence (no, while I respect your fortitude, faith doesn't count. Also, there are plenty of religious texts longer and more in depth than the Bible), nor do any atheists have the right to bash Christians, because we don't have proof that they AREN'T right (technically we can't prove any of the scientific 'facts' we've discovered; although, I could just say dinosa... never mind, I stray from the point). Anyone who denounces anybody else's faith or lack of faith is stupid, and you all know how much I hate stupid people.

Doug out, and, as always, slowly losing faith in humanity.
