Suppose I should reply. Yes, I am one of those people that thinks evidence is an important part of deciding what is and isn't true. Picketing won't accomplish anything. What I have done is written about the flaws of religions on forums. I also didn't cite anything but you don't seem to be using the word correctly anyway.

Lastly, it's not about not understanding. It's about no evidence. I understand it as well as anyone who believes it but there is no basis for that belief. There's also nowhere for that belief to fit. As talked about here, http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/2011/05/23/physics-and-the-immo..., if a soul or spirit exists and has meaning it has to interact with the world. We know a lot about how the world works and there is no gap that leaves enough space for a soul.

"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
~John Stuart Mill~
