It's normal for people to be prejudiced in favor of religion and theism — although people may disagree with some religions in particular, they still generally believe that it's better to be religious and to be a theist than to be an irreligious atheist. The presence of so much violence and conflict fueled by theistic religion, however, should cause people to reconsider this. You don't see atheists rioting over cartoons, do you? Even if people don't abandon religion and theism, they should abandon the presumption in favor of them.
