Hi from Canada...
Hi Everyone,
I am someone who has never believed in God. I am lucky to live in a part of the word where most people are not overtly religious, so growing up, it did not seem that religion was a big deal. In university, I studies history, specifically world religion and its impact on politics and governance. That is when I really began to understand how important religion is to control. Most of the people I talk to do not see religion to be a threat to their personal freedoms, but I feel that religion and the vehemence with which it is begin followed is terrifying. If anyone has been following the republican race in the US, you understand my concerns.
I am not sure exactly what I can do, but I feel that I need to act. I have begun to investigate various movements and groups that are anti religion in a constructive and organized way, which is how I found this site.
I look forward to chatting with you all.

If man was formed from dirt, why is there still dirt?
Welcome! I also despise the social conservatism of the religious right. Rick Santorum represents this category nicely. I hope he gets destroyed and Ron Paul takes the lead, followed by Obama winning. I hope Ron Paul types are the future of the Republican Party -- at least they are socially liberal.
Welcome, also from Canada, Ontario.
Glad to have you.
I am a really big cat.
Are you happy Brian Sapient? Look what you have done. You've brought another atheist to our ranks.
And to the OP, never mind me, I tell bad jokes and root for a really sucky NFL team.
