America doesn't need more God. It needs more atheists.

80. Probably true

because from what I've seen most religious people are incapable of separating the rules/laws of their religion from the rules/laws of the nation.

They seem to think that since there is some overlap, like "don't kill other people" that everything in their religion should be the law for everyone.

Dh and my kids are atheists.

I still claim to be an agnostic, as I can not know for sure that there is or isn't a being out there somewhere.

Sometimes, I wish I could believe that there was a benevolent force that would help humans. So far, it hasn't, nor have the supposed "men of god" who have caused harm in my life and so many others. I know so many people who have been harmed by religion.

Plus, if I'm an agnostic, I can still think there might just be unicorns out there, since there is the same amount of evidence for them as there is for a god.

Done rambling. Strained my back, so I'm not super mobile today (it's loosening up, but sitting here is non-painful).
