Did they all have feathers? Like ~ a stegosaurus had feathers? Or is that even considered a "dinosaur" anymore?
Picturing a T-Rex with feathers makes me think his little "strong" hands were mini wings. I bet that looked hilarious to other dinos.
eh, never meet anyone that cared that didn't know or when showed the research didn't go hmmm ok that's odd but whatever.

You don't have to change. Just use observational science and historical evidence to examine the link between ancient religions, when they were released, at what points were they necessary, etc.
Then go back and look at Hindu texts, and the source of the multiple dieties, the philosophy behind Brahman and the scientific link to the concept of a universal force that basically defines energy and decay, and then see how the Tao te ching explains how outdated literal definitions are.
There's a lot that can be explained through that kind of analysis that will make you understand what the purpose of God is in society, and how the ancient philosophies can essentially link physics, chemistry, and other hard sciences to universal truths such as gravity, energy, and other abstract concepts that I think will make you respect it more when an individual prays to the river that feeds his/her family, or to a mountain that they believe to be the center of the world, etc.
Dinosaurs are like insects in that they have their own order, Dinosauria, Insecta for insects, I think.
Feathers are not part of the description of Dinosauria so I'm going to say not all Dinosaurs had feathers.

Without feathers they'd be much cooler though, so that might be a reason.
I understand the purpose of a diety in our advancement as a society. If not for fear of a god, most would do as they please, so in a way it helped define communities as a group of individuals working towards the same goals.
But nowadays it only serves the purpose of giving people some false "relief" that they will go to heaven/hell and their existence will continue one way or another.
I do not believe in this. There is no proof whatsoever that our existence will continue after this life ends.

I still can't respect believing in gods. The time that individual spent praying to the river/mountain would be better spent doing something actually useful.

Money talks, bullshit walks..
Reptiles evolved from amphibians and then dinosaurs evolved from those early reptiles. Snakes and turtles evolved from reptiles separately from dinosaurs just the same as mammals evolved from reptiles separately from snakes, turtles and dinosaurs. So it's the other way around.
Some people don't even think Dinosaurs exist in the first place.

Some did and some didnt. They were on Earth over a very long time period. Also it would be ridiculous to assume that the early creatures that crawled out of the water had feathers. Fish or even sea mammals generally don't have them. So I think its a safe bet that early species of dinosaurs didnt have them for sure as well.
You overestimate the public's ability to keep up to date on recent discoveries. Between the JPark and other animated movies, the common person is under the assumption that dinosaurs were featherless.
The wise wolf who's pride is her wisdom isn't so sharp as drunk.
I don't so much deny it as don't care and think dinosaurs look cooler as we originally envisioned.
