Dear Cape, I do not agree with you. Almost two-thirds of all wars fought by man-kind were in the name of religions and non-existent gods.
As for praying, there is a saying in Malaylam, Palam kadakkuvolam narayana, palam kadannal koorayana (till you cross the bridge, you say Narayana - another name of Maha Vishnu - and after crossing the bridge, you say Koorayana (deride the god) !!!!!!!!! Atheists are more reliable than the believers when it comes to inter-personal relationship. We do not harbour any hatred for anybody based on Religion.
