Why Do Atheists Fight Against Their Own Interests?

Well, the latest atheist attack on religion is truly proving to be a pyrrhic victory. An atheist teen in Cranston Rhode Island is cheesed-off about the presence of a prayer posted on the wall of the cafeteria. When she reads this pray, she feels ostracized and left out. So, some trouble makers at the ACLU take up the cause and represent her. Now, the banner with the pray was not something new, that the crazy Christians just decided to put on the wall to start forcing kids into Godliness against their will. It was a gift to the school almost fifty years ago, written by a seventh grader in 1963. And, what was the content of this document that made this poor atheist feel so left out? Only one of the most beautiful, innocent prayers, one that we would hope all our children might say, one that we would beam with pride if our child had written it. A petition, if granted, could only make for the best students, and the best school environment, even for the atheists. Here's the content:

Our Heavenly Father,
Grant us each day the desire to do our best, To grow mentally and morally as well as physically, To be kind and helpful to our classmates and teachers, To be honest with ourselves as well as with others, Help us to be good sports and smile when we lose as well as when we win, Teach us the value of true friendship, Help us always to conduct ourselves so as to bring credit to Cranston High School West.
Amen

I just don't believe that any true atheist would object to this! So, you don't believe in God? Why not let the religious suckers believe this tripe! Would taking this prayer down make for a better environment in your school? Would you be more or less likely to be bullied if this prayer hangs in the cafeteria? If even only a few students take this message to heart, would it not improve the environment for you to learn, even if you are an atheist?

So, now the young lady who objected to this banner, and with the aid of the ACLU succeeded in having the banner covered up pending an appeal of the case, now, she who felt so ostracized by the mere presence of the banner, has to be escorted to school because of threats against her, and local florists refuse to deliver flowers to her, sent by equally misguided atheists looking to do battle against God. But, if God does not exist, what exactly are they so angry about? If you don't believe in God, why should it cheese you off if others seek the aid of something that does not exist, to be kind and helpful to their teachers and classmates?

If atheists were smart, they would quietly take advantage of religion, using it as the opiate of the masses, as Lenin called it. If they were smart, they would realize that their strength does not come in increasing their numbers, but by taking advantage of the foolish kindness of Christians. For, if there were more atheists, and fewer Christians, the world would be a darker, less comfortable place for everyone, especially those who do not believe in God.
