This old atheist just sent money, out of state, to a preacher in Georgia...

27. I grew up in a Methodist church in the deep South.

I know that this is not universal and I know that there are some wonderful practicing Christians. However, It has been my observation, that many Atheists live a more "Christian" lifestyle than the Christians that I live among. I live in a rural area, and the church going Christians, that I grew up with, are hateful right-wingers. They still long for Jim Crow, they hate the Spanish speaking workers that they hire to work on the farms, and they are misogynists' pigs. These folks assume that I am one of them, so they speak freely in my presence. If they are right in their religious beliefs, they may have a surprise waiting at the Pearly Gates.

Heck, Atheists have to be better to live with themselves because we can't go down on our knees in the evening and bargain for forgiveness. We have to live with our sins and if we want to mitigate our guilt, we have to figure out how to make amends without using magical incantations...
