Or maybe you aren't so sure, and you need to convince yourself? How absurd to waste your time on a topic that you reject?

I see three question marks but, I don't see any questions.

I reject your opinion that a person who doesn't accept religion cannot participate in this section.
This section is for religion AND spirituality. They are often very different. If you assumed that the title of this section meant "only if you agree with hate mongering christians," you were quite mistaken.
My spirituality has absolutely nothing to do with religion. In fact, the closer I get to God, the less I agree with ALL religion.
I'm offended that you would assume that because you require religion to obtain spirituality, that all other must do the same.

Hey! My favorite question popped up! :-D Copied from my blog to save for this most popular question. :-)
I, as only one spiritual atheist, am here to learn about the various religions, philosophies and spiritualities of the world. I always held fascination with religions in general (not just christianity---ALL religions, old and new). I do not seek a "god" belief, but here to seek how people attain inner-peace, self-knowledge, inner-wisdom and how they attain peace in their lives in general---and that I might learn a thing or two. :-) I seek to find and improve on my own atheistic spirituality, to improve upon myself. Isn't that what spirituality is basically about? I believe so!
I also hang out here NOT to "defeat religion" but mainly to give the "other side" of the equation, to give information, and to let others know that there are more than one valid way to see, learn and experience the world. R/S section is not "just reserved for the theists". It is reserved for all.
I have to disagree that being spiritual always REQUIRES a "god" belief. What of the Buddhists or Taoists? They are deeply spiritual, but lack a "god" belief of sorts. The way I see it, spirituality focuses on the internal part of the person---their soul, their personality, their well-being. Religion focuses more on the external (church, praying rituals, communion, confessionals, etc), and usually religion does require a belief in "god" or a supernatural entity of some sort.

No. It's an open forum. You have a right to vomit your religion and call it "true", and I have a right to expose it as false. Fair's fair. If you want censorship, post in a moderated forum where they agree with you.
As well, if your religion is "right", then it won't be hurt by anything I say. Or are you afraid your "god" will cease to exist if I ask questions? Theists' "gods" always seem have a very tenuous existence....
A strong argument welcomes and withstands dissent. Only empty arguments and cowards who hold them don't want to hear those who disagree.

Hey just because I "reject" Religion as you call it, I can still make comments on some of the stupid things that are said in this section.

yes that seems like a reasonably request!
On the other hand No won't so Ya Boo Sucks!!
We have as much right to lead you towards the truth as you have to try and lead us towards total BS!! And your lot 'pop up' continually in just about every category.
Hope this helps??

Rejection is a legitimate interest.

People on here are mainly handicap mentally and probably physically. They are stuck in their houses.They don't have a life. Everyday they search for peace and can't find it. They come on this site and bash Christians and still can't find peace. It is so sad!

I have no problem with religionists who keep it to themselves and don't trot 'round getting in my face about their god. But when someone insists on doing just that, they and their "faith" are fair game - and, my young impressionable friend, I am a crack shot - in both the metaphorical and the physical sense!

I AGREE! When I enter this section of Yahoo it always makes me mad to see the ignorant comments people make about religions.
