I think that they are the ones who are "misguided" All "Mainstream God" is today, is a money-making machine that supports Corrupt Church Elites; who (as an Entity) pay No Tax. This (to my way of thinking) borders on the Criminal, and is a Wholesale Deception of the Gullible People, who make up church congregations, the world over - NOT just Americans...
Everything comes from within the self. All perceptions arise from it. Religious people may get upset by "rudeness" and "condescension" from non-believers; however more annoying still is the treatment Atheists (and other religions) mostly get from Christians; that is to say, other religions are missguided in their beliefs.

Btw I got Rosehipsters "dander up" by mentioning "In the Closet of the Vatican" (before my comment was selectively deleted). Funny how they only believe what suits them, when it suits them, no?
