I'm an atheist but I understand that religion and/or faith makes a lot of people happy and I don't want to take that happiness away from them.

I do. It's such a waste of time. I'm not going to start anything with people, I don't have the patience or energy for that. And honestly, i don't have any debate skills. But I really wish I could just take it all away. Isn't it better to be right than to be happy?

Isn’t it better to be right than to be happy?

First of all, no it isn't. If you think it is, please explain why.

Also, Is that a decision that you would want someone else to make for you?

If not, why do you want to make that decision for other people?

Agnostic here and yeah, most atheists and agnostics I have ever met are about the same. We don't care if YOU believe. We care that you care we don't. Most of us will never utter a word against your religion and beliefs as long as you "do unto others" and all that jazz. This comic reaks of being drawn by a Christian about how they think Athiests behave and feel. This video is ancient now, but I get the same vibes off this comic.

I take this comic to be more poking fun at the portion of atheists who make their entire personality around disproving God's existence - people who try to spread atheism the same way christians spread their own gospel. It's largely not applicable to other atheists.

Yeah, those aren't athiests, they are assholes. Anyone who prosthelytizes is an asshole. Period.
