"You do not need to take away their faith for your own personal gain."

Wait a minute...do you mean that I could GAIN something by taking away someone's faith??? I had no idea! What have I been missing out on? What could I gain? Tell me!!!

...and to think that I've been leaving them in peace all these years, like a sucker...

Unfortunately true , religion has persecuted scientists since before Galileo

IMO, those who express such angry sentiments are the lowest common denominator vis a vis morality. They do not deserve the privilege of their beliefs, if their beliefs harm others.

Scientists are doctors, astronauts, inventors, creators of life-saving medicines, many kinds climate researchers, etc. Scientists save lives and make life more livable in many ways. Angry people can call lifesaving scientists 'assholes,' but they each should take a hard look at themselves to recognize a compulsively ignorant, reactive 'asshole.'

No one can prove that "god" does or does not exist, nor can anyone prove or describe what will happen after death to anyone else. What they do not comprehend is that beliefs are the inner part of each person, something that others can neither give nor take away.

Such people should grow up, get anger management training, lessons in humility, and tolerance for others' beliefs. Maybe then they wouldn't be so quick to generalize about a huge, diverse group called scientists. I'll bet many scientists have neither time nor desire to prove that people's faith(s) in 'god' are wrong.
