Being an atheist means a free and clear mind. We do not allow our lives, morals, values and thoughts to be controlled by religious doctrine or beliefs. We think for ourselves and make rational, logical decisions for ourselves, our lives and our loved ones.
Did any of you start off religious and move to atheism? If so, did you feel the liberation like I did? I felt, almost literally, all the fear and worry just slide off me.
Do you feel that atheists have a deeper appreciation for the environment than religious people do? I surely do.
Do you feel that atheists have a deeper appreciation of natural beauty in each other and in nature? I do.
Do you ever look back on your religious life and shudder and say to yourself, "Wow, I was almost washed away in that mess!" I certainly do.
Share your thoughts, I'd love to hear them.
