The Dreaded Atheism Debate
I'm an atheist. I choose not to believe in God based upon scientific reasoning and the fact that religious fanatics have ruined too many lives because of it. But the point of atheism is not to recruit more people, as is the goal of religion, it is simply the choice not to believe. I am an atheist because of facts, not because I want to stand out in society and be a badass. I don't try to force it on other people. Belief structures are the hardest thing in the world to break.
