119. I speak up when it’s worth it.
Most people don’t have the time or inclination to correct every generalization and ridicule of religion, myself included. When I feel it’s worth a debate, I’ll speak up. Also, I am religious but not Christian, and people have very valid points about the spread of Christian fundamentalism that is becoming prevalent in the US. Most Christians I know would agree with that observation, too.

Just because some who are anti-religion are very vocal does not give you the right to blame the whole of the site and stomp off. Well, stomp off if you like, I don’t really mind. But generalize and put down an entire, diverse group of people while doing so, and you’ve shown your true colors.
