I agree with you

People should absolutely be free to practice any religion they want in the US.

No, Scientol0gy is criminal

People shouldn't be able to shove religion in your face or the opposite of athiests trying to shove non-religion in everyone's face.

No, The majority of atheists I am aware of keep it to themselves. The majority or Christians try to convert everyone they meet.

A true athiest is just as "delusional" as a true religious person. Both believe their idea is right on "beliefs." No proof God or gods exist or not.

No, you’re speaking as a believer. A god would need to be proven first in order to be disproven.

Most "athiests" are agnostic athiests, not gnostic athiest.

Here we go telling people what to think again.

World would be a better place if "athiests" went more by agnostics.

Saying you agree there is a possibility of a god or not and denying the existence wholeheartedly are two different things.

Saying you're athiest to a religious person is saying "I know your religion is wrong". Saying you're agnostic to a religious person is saying "I don't know, but I don't necessarily agree with you."

Yup

There is currently no way to know. That is a fact, a hard truth. Thinking you have a way to know one way or the other is "crazy"

You can’t prove a negative, that’s a fact. Therein lies the fundamental flaw with theists, belief and opinion are not equal to facts.

The simple truth you cannot accept is understanding fact from fiction.
