That theirs isn't the only valid religion and that everyone has the right to believe what they want and follow their own path in life.

I am Agnostic and I would say that I would mainly like to bring attention to the fact that just because Atheists and Agnostics are not necessarily 'religious', this does not mean that we do not have morals. Furthermore, it does not mean that we are not spiritual. Many times, as soon as I tell a Christian that I am Agnostic, they automatically think that A.) Agnostic is the same thing as Atheist and B.) that I have no morals just because I do not live by the Bible.

Truth on individuals to act is the real dual in matters of discernment that are meant to be endorced by Church Fellowship as God's will to guide your behavior without regard to the spirit itself.
The men recognized with the introduction of the doctrine associated with the religions that survive today consistenly record the introduction of the specific spirit

That the path to truth in religion (or anything for that matter) is to start with an open mind, bring yourself up to speed with relevant current factual scientific knowledge that relates to the subject, familiarize yourself with the various popular theistic conjectures and make a logical determination based on which one is not at odds with your own worldly observations and experience and doesn't conflict with scientific fact. DON'T continue to start with a conclusion (that a particular, or any, religion is correct) and then ignore or distort all conflicting evidence and embarrass yourself with the ridiculous
'justifications' and 'explanations' that allow you to hang on to your obviously erroneous initial conclusions.

I wish they would understand selection effects, and how selection effects result in local complexity. Especially how biological Natural Selection results in complexity in biological systems.
Further I wish they would understand that trying to explain the seemingly improbable by surmising an even more improbable creator only leads to infinite regression. Now you need an even more improbable creator for your god. Merely claiming God is infinitely improbable and therefore doesn't need to be explained doesn't cut it.
I think the reason that of all scientists, biologists have the highest percentage of atheism is they are used to selection processes.

~~~Kallan,,,, The Esoteric Knowledge of The Symbology they Worship,,, and that The Christian Motif is plagiarized mainly from The Egyptian Isis & Osiris Religion, Zoroastrianism and Mithraism, which all predate significantly. Simple investigation proves this out.

i would like for certain individuals to stop assuming that just because we have morals that are different from their bible that we are getting our morals for satan or that we are devil worshippers or that we hate god or whatnot i wish that they could see that we are all human and that no one is better then anybody and that no one should judge anybody whether they share their beliefs or not whether a person is religious or nonreligious unfortunately some people are too closed minded to see this and get insulted when we point that out and then they play the role of victim and shut down and nothing gets accomplished this way

Religious recruiters attempt to claim highly intelligent people as one of their own to propagate or feel validated by their religious beliefs. Of course, this is flawed thinking - being intelligent doesn't equate to being flawless.

That the common misconception of "pagans worship the Creation and not the Creator" is simply not true.

If you force enlightenment on someone you are not enlightening them. People can only enlighten themselves.
I would teach them that but that isn't my point.
I would let them know that peace doesn't have to come from an external being because we already have it, many just don't know it.

Just because I converted to Islam, does not mean I want to pressure all of you in to converting also. I just want to explain my religion so everyone has a better understanding of it.
People fear what they do not understand, and often hate what they fear.
