I think both sides statements are worthless. Having said that, Saying an atheist is going to burn in Hell, is saying you believe something is going to happen to someone you disagree with but won't be implemented by the religious person. However, saying believing in God makes no sense AND that it shouldn't be allowed, is trying to force a belief on someone in the present. I have problems with both sides saying either thing, but there are different implications of each statement.
