I have been reading this thread for quite a while. My thoughts about religion are this: everyone is entitled to their belief, atheist, Christian, secular humanist, Pagan, whatever. It's a personal thing, I don't mind anyone's beliefs as long as they don't try to push that belief onto me. Seems to me that's what LH, Peace, Wesley, Don Firth and Amos have been saying all along. Me, I have my beliefs, what they are isn't anyone else's business. I'm partnered with an atheist, he doesn't believe the same things I believe, but he's ok with me and my beliefs and I'm ok with him and his beliefs. One of the major tenets of most belief systems is tolerance, lots of religions don't practice it, but religion and faith/belief aren't the same thing.
