Hmmm, I fail to make the association in how not believing in any god at all can be called a religon by any stretch of the imagination. Athiesm by nature is non belief or acceptance of any religon, plain and simple.

I never request that anyone stop believing in their chosen deity, rather that they try viewing the world of possibilities from a perspective outside the bonds of the mindset I feel is typically constrained by the philosophies of religous thinking. I do hope you understand there are differing possibilities from the ones you believe and hold so dearly as truths, most especially when such "truths" require blind acceptance through faith when they become inexplicable by other means.

If you feel only other religons than your own can be harmful I suggest that you are partaking of the very dangerous fruit of religous discrimination, which is only one of the many such pitfalls of religous "right thinking" and have led to the slaughter of people holding different religous ideologies throughout time.

My own lack of religon can't possibly be harmful to others. However, my feelings are that many folks of faith can be very harmful to other folks holding different views of their particular faith as well as those like myself simply because we believe differently.
