Though I'm a very firm atheist, I've never encountered any annoying religious people. To the contrary, I've taken every opportunity to study with Jehovah's Witnesses when I was a teenager, for the main purpose of improving my conversational English (I came from Russia when I was 10) and bettering my American-level social skills (I became a hikikomori shortly after coming here). Very good people.
If communism or (secular) Zionism can count as religions, on the other hand, then don't get my started... :x
Fundamentalists are interesting, not annoying. Jehovah's witnesses, Mormons, etc, the more fundamentalist, the more I will want to know just what the hell is going on in your mind! It is vastly more likely that I will read history of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, and its off-shoots, than I would read one about the history of something boring, like the Church of England.
There were a couple of Witnesses who used to come to my house several times a week, usually when I was busy. I tried being polite and explaining thatI had my own belief system and would prefer they did not come by. When leaving one said "I will pray for you." I answered "Thanks - I'll sacrifice a chicken for you."
They never came back.

Interesting and annoying are not mutually exclusive. I find it interesting that there are people who think I deserve to burn in hell and some of my favorite activities should be legally banned, that the world is only 6,000 years old and feminists are the spawn of Satan, but they're also pretty darn annoying.

It is, roughly, if the "world" is a metaphor for human civilization.

"Satanism" as being a belief in or respect for nature, plus an individualism, the rise of the individual over religion, the law, and morality.
Um? A 37 year old gir? OK, I can call hot twenty-something-year-olds girls, but 37 seems to be pushing it!

I've heard that some 200 Americans die from erotic asphyxiation a year. Was she planning on joining them?!

I could see Gene being annoying to some, but i never thought his religion had anything to do with his annoyingness. Every time i have heard him, he has made points based on his religion, but he has never forced it upon anybody that i'm aware of. If he really is an voluntaryist/anarchist, then it would be against his ideology to do so. Any examples that i'm unaware of?

Ive never heard him say people who aren't christian are bad, or tell anyone what to believe. I would call him religiously eccentric; surely not dominative. Maybe i'm missing something.
Also, forcing religion on people can be done without government.

He still lives in their basement and plays WoW, I think. I wonder if he'll get into the Celestial Kingdom with his level 80 Paladin.
On Religious intolerance by Satanists, you could check out this cool documentary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4U33U_UyzQ&hl=un)
where do you work?

He's intellectually dishonest, which is what makes him maddening to try and debate with. He goes on about how you can't trust scientists, but the Bible has been "proven" accurate. He admits something one day and denies it the next. He asserts that you can't have moral authority without God, and then admits that you can't know who God is, what God wants, or if there even is a God. In short, his religious belief is more important to him than his rationality, and that is scary indeed.

I didn't say I liked the music, I just find all the ideology that goes with it interesting (which is not the same as saying I like that, either)
My step-mother.
She believed that she had some divine vision where Jesus spoke to her and her meth-whore daughter. She will flip out and start talking about the Mark of the Beast, the end times and how Catholics are evil whenever you bring up Ozzy or any other inane subject. Believes that George W. Bush is a good guy. She's told my grandfather's girlfriend that she will go to hell because she's a Catholic. Flipped out and tried to convince my grandmother that I was a satanist when I told her that Jesus was an anarchist and that God hated George W Bush.
Oh yeah. She's a horrible cook.
