What is with all these exorcism gone bad posts?

1. The point is that a few participants in Religion want to create an atmosphere that is toxic

to believers. They aren't interested in discussion or debate, but simply want to beat up believers. Given the challenges that American Atheists face, I can understand where they are coming from but I can't necessarily condone their behavior.

In broad categories you have believers, atheists and anti-theists (I feel safe using this term as several of them have declared themselves as such). We agree mostly on the political issues (with some exceptions). Believers and Atheists can have interesting and well informed discussions; Anti-Theists on the other hand there's little point to engaging with unless you just want to fight. How can you have a discussion with someone who believes all believers to be deceptive or ignorant?
