There is much truth in the religions, but there is also some very dangerous self-fulfilling prophecy fueled by dogmatism. This is what people don't understand about atheists. Atheists are rightly scared of this, and this is what mainly drives their opposition to religion.

Some day, a popular bridge will be built, and truer science will come together with truer religion. Good luck with that any time soon. People are too busy wanting to kill each other.
