I have come to the conclusion that religion breeds fear, and that if we are ever to live in a free world, religion has to go and we have to fight it.

people should be allowed to have their beliefs, but they should understand why atheists call them idiots.
if you met a girl and told her you believe in santa claus, what should she say? "oh, that's your right to believe in santa" or "wtf?" |

At the least. Maybe anything with a dogma? Would there be any non-organized religions with a dogma?

Yeah, when I say organized religion I mostly mean dogmatic religion. They're almost synonymous, if not entirely. After all, religious groups/organizations without a dogma never last long.
I generally think of dogma as "the great satan". And not just when it comes to religion.

I'm sorry, I'm confused. They never do what out of kindness? Convert people to atheism? |

| Option 2 for me also. Religion is the problem not a supposed god. Unfortunately if people believe in a god there will always be religion but I still say option 2. |
