Who is more aggresive here: the religious or anti-religious?

Both groups try to convert others to their respective position I disagree whole-heartedly with that comment...yes there are some here who do try to convert others to not only their way of thinking but also to their religion and so on BUT thats a small few really..I know that myself and several others of all various religious and spiritual paths have no desire and dont attempt to convert anyone....I dont try to convert a person to my path (that owuld be foolish since they arent me) or to my way of thinking (again foolish since they arent me) BUT I have, do and always will stand my ground, explain myself and my beliefs and so on...Does that make me aggressive? Maybe, maybe not...IMO No it doesnt.... as for who is more sincere, well sincerity isnt reserved for a specific type of person..regardless of the topic at hand there will always be sincere ppl and not so sincere ppl...its not any one group thats more inclined if that makes snese AND I'd like to point out that just because a person is NOT religious doenst make them ANTI religious by any means..I'm NOT religious..spiritual? Yes and very much so but NOT religious at all however i'm also NOT ANTI-religion either...

Obviously the religious - since time and time again I see them stating 'MINE is the ONLY TRUTH and if you don't believe and convert, then you are WRONG and going to hell' blah blah blah. From where I stand as an agnostic, I have never ever said 'MINE is the ONLY truth and if you don't convert at once to MY belief, you are WRONG and going to hell'. That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard, and yet it sometimes DOES scare people. People need to not be scared so easily! BTW I don't want to convert anybody. I simply want people to realize they are one of many - and that we are not robots. We do not all feel, think, or operate the same, therefore the reason for multiple beliefs. We were also all given free choice and free will, and many of us live in places where freedom of speech is a given right. Freedom of thought is a given right to everybody. Anyhow, what I wish for others is that they think about the fact that what they each feel is right is subjective - RIGHT FOR THEM, NOT NECESSARILY RIGHT FOR ANYBODY ELSE IN THIS WORLD. I operate under this principle, I definitely know that sometimes a choice I make would not be right for anybody else I know - yet it is the right one for ME. Why can't other people think like this? The only thing I get super aggressive about is PREVENTING someone from being a hypocritic monster and trying to tell me I am ABSOLUTELY wrong, just because they don't agree. I have no issue with someone who disagrees. Disagreeing alone is not even a reason for a tussle. It is people who not only disagree but then condemn a different view who need a swift kick in the pants.

It's not a matter of which group is more aggressive or sincere, it's a matter of which people are more aggressive or sincere. Some people on MyLot can be quite 'in-your-face' about their beliefs, but that doesn't mean the rest of the atheists/theists are like that.

I think their is sanity and insanity in both camps. One is not more reasonable than the other and visa versa, that is my observation. Hopefully I have treated everyone with due respect, whether I agree with them or not.

I respond to controversial religious questions only if I find someone has not adequately represented the position I would have loved to take. IOW I respond only to clear any misinformation in an area I am confident of backing up[I am talking in matters of religion esp.] my statements with what is accepted therein as authority. It will never be to win someone else to my point. That is because I always believe religion is a matter of personal conviction.

ohhhhh boy. I think the word religion just gets peoples minds all worked up. I have seen both sides, i have friends who are extremely religious and will try to convert anyone they meet and also i have friends who are religious who keep to themselves and let others do and say what they want. I have had ONE run in with someone who was anti-religious and this person could not STOP talking/yelling/fighting to prove his cause. He was past the point of having a discussion and made it an all out yelling spree trying to prove "religions were cults" and blah blah blah. SO beyond all the rambling i have just done, i think you can find extremes in each cases...i always hope that people know how to keep their opinions in check!
