Being comfortable as a atheist?

Hello My first blog entry, first time ever in any blog.

My name is Rene´ im 29 years old, im from a town called Aalborg In denmark and im still living there.

Okay here we go, how can we expect believers being comfortable as atheist if soceity doesn't allow it? Now thats a hard nut to crack,
I can easily change my opinion about politics and other things, if i have a discussion about my opinions and i run out of arguments and answers, one of two things has happend.
1: I have not thought enough about the subject to have a valid opinion
2: I am simply wrong and my arguments are flawed, i will gladly change my mind and be comfortable with my new opinion.

Somehow religion and faith is in a different league, and the example above doesn't apply.

The key word is comfortable, i recently spoke to my father and i said to him, if i can convince you to think that everything hitler and nazi germany was trying to accomplish was a good thing "dont get wrong idea here lol its just an example" will you change your mind about them, he said no way, even if my arguments sounded right in his head, his heart will say no, because our soceity wouldn't allow it, his family, work place, and the history of WWII etc, but most of all he wouldn't be comfortable with that opinion.
well i then thought how the hell are we gonna convince a whole nation, to be comfortable with that there is no god and that they are wasting their lives trying to satisfied a oh so wonderfull god, just for one purpose to get in to heaven and not hell, preatty damn fucking hard if you ask me when the root of religious faith are so deep.
Maybe its impossible, maybe time and science will someday take its toll on religion, and christmas wil be a tradition and not something people will think about in any religious way, maybe if the standard of living is raised, free healthcare, get the homelees of the street etc, so people dont have any excuses to pray to their lord when their nations leader treat them like shit who knows, religion will never go away completely NEVER, im convinced that if we get people comfortable they will believe in any shit that gives there lives meaning, so attacking them is only gonna be a war on words nobody wants to lose

are we just looking in the wrong places?
