I do feel fortunate to not have the fear so many of them seem to have. I do have a problem with being labled by believers as someone who thinks I'm better than they are but that's their doing for whatever reason, I can't change the mind of someone who finds it necessary to make such a thing up.

It's unfortunate that people still hold on to fiction as truth but that has been going on since the beginning of humanity. I'm human and so are they. We all share the same history as beings. A person either moves on or they don't... or can't for personal reasons.
