Woah - there, don't put words in my mouth - that's a logical fallacy. Religion wrong? NO, i don't think it's wrong, well i do and don't. I'm not sure what you mean by "wrong" because wrong can be that something is bad/ or something is false. So, i'll comment on both:
Religion is wrong, in the sense that it's false. There is no all powerful, all knowing, sky-fairy, or... "god." There are no deities.
NOW, do i think it's wrong, in the sense that it's "bad" for people. Yes/and no. I know religion helps people through the hardships of life, and can lead to beautiful amazing things, like the Sistine Chapel, for example. Yet it can also be the thing that makes a man invade a country for weapons of mass destruction, and have no premise other than "god told him so." It can also lead to a whole nation backing him up on such war. (I'm referring to George Bush and the united states, if you aren't aware by now.) I could list many more events - humans have a long history of bloodshed due to religion; partially or completely. The Spanish Inquisition, the crusades, and the catholic church's ethnic cleansing of africa are a few more examples.
Oh - and, you were right about me being an atheist, but wrong about me "not knowing what fact really is." I may not know all of them, but i do know what they are, as i live my life by them. Also, i don't think you know what the laws of physics are, you may have heard that phrase tossed around, but if you actually know, and understand what they are; the premise that there 'is a god' would be very unlikely to you.
Another wall of text, I'm not even going to bother reading it. I'll skim through it instead. You quoted me on the "not knowing what a fact is", I was simply doing what you did to me. You've wall of text'd me about 3 times now.
