Didn't you read the other post? We wont be left alone. Ever. We MUST be converted, and our wants and desires matter not. Our beliefs are wrong, misguided.

i'll explain that part as far as i understand it:
religion is another word for world view. your world view colors your hobbies, habits, sexual activity, form of morals, political stance, stance on world history, stance on various aspects of science, the meaning of life, the universe and everything. it colors how you behave in society, who you interact or don't interact with and why. where you go. what you do with your brain in your spare time, and who is the most important sentient being you personally know of.

in your world view, that would make you god, since you would remove the need for the definition of some other god from your world view and replace it with your own. and as god, you declare that there's no afterlife or whatever your position is on that subject, for example. you have your own 10 commandments, etc, written by you personally, and don't feel you need some other god to tell you what to think/do/be/become
