Because "faith" kills.  How many more children will be raped by a priest or preacher in the name of God?  How many more kids will die because their parents chose to "pay" instead of seeking medical attention? How many more women will be forced to carry an unwanted fetus to term because some preacher thinks a bundle of dividing cells equals a "human,"  How many more times will I forget to buy beer on Saturday and be denied my right to pursue happiness with a good beer or bottle of wine on Sunday because some idiot says his god says "no"?  How many more wars will be fought over differences between beliefs in invisible beings?

 

Keep your personal irrational beliefs to yourself and don't impose them on others and all will be fine.

Frog, I really don't have to tell you how irrational beliefs directly translate to evils all over this creation.  Do I?
