Allright, this is the last straw. Why can't people go their own way and do their own thing without someone else shoving a bible up their asses!? It's just so aggravating. Im an Atheist. My girlfriends a Baptist. My Uncles Jewish, My Aunt's Roman Catholic, and we all leave eachother alone about that crap. Why cant anyone else?

Mankind need to have unity to accomplish global prosperity and to solve universal problems; otherwise we will all suffer mutual destruction.
However, this should be done in tender ways, rather than in pushing, forcing or imposing. Perhaps, we should patiently exchange views in a polite manner as we are doing on this forum.
We need to talk back and forth until when we realize the Unity of God, the Unity of Religion and the Unity of Mankind.
With this clear vision we will reach unity of thoughts, unity of plans and unity of actions to reach the Golden Age.
It is really unwise to promote isolation among people of good will, while criminals are forming more powerful bands to use weapons of mass destruction to accomplish their evil goals.

How can I know my mind?
An alert mind is not a problem; an unaware mind is. The mind projects the future to be fulfilling but misses the beauty of the present. If you are rich, you want to be richer; if you are strong, you want to be stronger; if you are beautiful, you want to be more beautiful. Such a mind does not make you live life but leave life.
Such a mind creates false prayers. You make a ritual out of prayer and pretend to pray. Such prayer becomes an empty gesture.
Why am I so greedy?
There is a visible world and there is an invisible world. There is a visible self and an invisible self. The visible world is a world of diversity and the invisible world is a world of oneness.
If we live on the periphery we will feel incomplete but completeness is one’s nature. This incompleteness wants us to be a complete person. But the only track it knows is greed, wanting more. The enlightened masters give us not a dogma but a device to reach this state of completeness.
We should stop fooling around with life. Just thinking to be happy is not enough; just thinking to be wise is not enough. It is a luxury to think but it is wisdom to live. Ask yourself: Are you concerned with reality or fantasy?
There are two ways to know reality. If you want to know objective reality, then science is the way out. If you want to know subjective reality, turn to spirituality.
Why does one worry in life ?
Worry has become a habit for many. An inner energy that is not creative goes around in circles of worry. A creative person is one who, when he encounters a problem, is focused on the solution and is not a victim to the problem. Convert the problem into a springboard for possibilities.
A doctor does not cure illness but allows the healing process within to surface by giving it the right condition. So, too, the true healer exists within you. But you have to create the right condition. By looking at the mountain you can’t climb the mountain, you should will yourself to climb the mountain. Optimise this will for you to be above worry.
What should one do to be successful in life?
Ultimately what you need is self-confidence, mental toughness, commitment to excel and the ability to use the power of imagination.
What do you mean by self-confidence?
There are three pillars of self-confidence: Feeling good, taking responsibility and developing skills. There are both healthy ways and unhealthy ways of feeling good. You should develop the discipline to feel good in a healthy way. The quality of one’s life is the quality of one’s consistent feeling. There are techniques that are taught how to hold and maintain consistent feelings of empowerment within you.
How does one acquire clarity?
Clarity is acquired not by knowledge but by knowing. It is not a belief system; it is intelligence operating in the domain of freedom. The true meaning of renunciation is not renouncing the world but renouncing bondage. When bondage is renounced there is freedom, the most important thing. In freedom lies intelligence. It is not just discipline but true freedom. Freedom is not something devoid of order; it is a flowering of order

Why leave one another alone when you can peaceable debate and discuss?
I can see how someone in your position, which such diversity around you, will try to avoid religious conversation, but if you do so peacefully it's actually quite enjoyable.
Peace and love be with ye, you're a believer and you just don't know it yet.

We all want to share our experiences with others to help them and to save them the time of searching. By your question, YOU are not an Atheist! Grow from this!!!

I have been trying to stop the hatred...
