Freedom of religion=Freedom FROM religion??

[Zero Signal]

I do not respect anyone less for not believing or believing. I ask the same of all of my friends. People will choose what they want to do, and I cannot change that so I do not ever try.

Tolerance is a virute that should be practiced by both sides. Atheist? Do not tell others that they are simple-minded and that religion is a crutch. Christian (or whatever)? Do not tell others that they are going to burn in Hell for not believing what you do. People who attack others because of what they believe or place faith in are most likely insecure about what they themselves feel regarding it.

And try not to confuse the message and the messanger. While I hold my own beliefs and interpretations of Christianity, I do acknowledge that religion is its own worst enemy at times, especially regarding the fundamentalist aspect of some of its followers.
