For some people - probably a minority - yes.

Our entire western world view has been afftected by religion through history. That goes for atheists who share our culture.

Compare for example the world view and way of life of a westerner, with someone living in a religiously sanctioned caste society, like India. You say religion has no affect because you see how peope are different despite religion. You see individuality shining through. You just don't see what it is shining through.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

From my experience, poverty and education level have a much greater influence on people than religion. The social gradient in a country also affects people much more than religion.

I've worked in extremely poor countries with Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus. Sorry, but there ain't a great deal of difference between them.

In parts of Africa I've been in, it was quite a common thing for a senior person in a certain mining organisation to be approached by a worker, and be told by the worker that if he could just be given a more senior position, then he could get the choice of his daughter or son to do as he liked to them. This happened at least once a week by different people.

This was a country that had a mixture of Christians (mostly evangelical) and Muslims, and the people who approached him were a roughly proportional mixture of both.

Rich people have more in common with each other than people who share a certain religion.
