I don't know how many of you are aware that I identify as Atheist. It's not something I discuss a lot in my journal, although I have considered myself one for quite some time. It's only relevant now because of a post a friend made this morning about how she is not Atheist. The post was quite interesting given the reasoning presented for why she can

Recently I was talking to my mom on the phone and she had thought I was an atheist which I found really interesting. I'm not, I'm just against organized religion. All of 'em.
What do I hate more than organized religion? People who impose their beliefs on others. The people that beat their drums for Islam, Christianity, Aethism, anything. Religion (or lack thereof) should be a personal quest. I don't wanna hear about your personal beliefs if I don't know you. I think the world would be a lot better off if they followed this policy.

You hand me any literature on any mythology (yeah, refer to christianity as mythology and prepare to be judged by the ones that should not lest they be judged themselves) and I'll poke so many holes in it, it would go great on your next sammich. Your beliefs would hold alot more water if you gave me something that was, at least, consistant in it's teachings. The christian bible has so many loopholes and different accounts, it's not funny.
And why does christianity exist? To the believers, it is to "serve god". Didn't he create angels for this purpose? I guess that makes the human race comic relief for the dieties.

I consider myself an Existential Christian. I'm uncertain of the truth behind the historical Jesus of the Bible - I do believe in the truth found in the benefits of his teachings according to the Gospels.
As opposed to kliq, though many in this society do not see a need for religion in this society - I think there's an even greater need in a society that is looking to operate secularly. All that alienation and apathy and disenchantment that people go on about in our post-post-modern society - I think it comes from a disowning of anything religious and spiritual. The disenfranchisement's well understood with terrible travesties all done in the name of one god or another, the hiding and perverting of scientific facts to preserve a religion, and the need to compromise one's beliefs, and thusly many's beliefs, in order to live in a society where everyone can get along. What religion can that possibly leave a person? I believe in order to overcome that general crappy ( ... )

maybe to word it in other terms, that the denial of someone's faith, in a negative way, is the contributing factor of the de-evolution of society... not that faith itself has done that.
science is god dissecting itself. i think it rocks, and don't understand why faith and science cannot be one.
