In reply to the discussion: what is the most important aspect of the interaction between belivers and non believers [View all]cbayer
(146,218 posts)There are many who say they recognized at a very young age that they just didn't believe and others who came to believe at equally young ages, and some of these people were raised in cultures where those positions were not acceptable.
Certainly there are cultural influences, and they are strong, but there are also those who find deep faith after having been raised in communities without it.
I absolutely agree that it doesn't matter where your core beliefs come from. I feel the same way that you do about having beliefs pushed on me, but I will include atheism as one of those things I don't like pushed either.
Live and let live. Believe or don't believe.
Just be kind towards and tolerant of those who see it differently.
It's a two way street and everyone wants to drive on it. They are just going different directions.
