I never suggested only theists were against stem cell research. I said stem cells are hardly the only example of religious belief being an obstacle to scientific progress. I also suggest your attempt to separate "personal morality" from religion in the way you have here is disingenuous, or misguided at best. For the religious, very many of their moral positions are derived directly from their religious beliefs.
Then you do not see the point I was trying to make.
How many religious people have you gotten to know on a personal level? The way you have worded the last sentence seems to add bias to your argument. From what I have gathered from a brief overview of your posts in this thread, you appear to have an intense dislike for theistic people. Now I won't pretend that I know you nor your upbringing, these are just merely observations I have made from a limited look into your posts. And I am not being disingenuous because I'm not pretending that you know less than I do about this particular subject.
Personally, I dislike abortion as a source of stem cells for research, as I believe that is snuffing out a life. But not a sentient life which is only marginally better.

Let's remember, stem cells are hardly the only example where religious belief has stood as an obstacle to scientific progress.
That one is less religious belief, and more personal morality. Morals like that more or less coincide with religious beliefs, but I have met many atheists that are against stem cell research. To respect their privacy, I won't be citing them.

Obvious Straw Man statement. Notice I was only stating my personal beliefs. And not doing half the things you listed would kill anyone.
