[quote]Because religious parents still beat their children for questioning[/quote] Not wholly true. I grew up religious, and when I told my parents I was having some doubts about our religion, we sat down and had a peaceful conversation and I felt much better afterwards. [quote]Because atheists are still discriminated[/quote] I agree. That's very sad because some of my best friends are atheist and they're all really great guys. It's sad that atheists are mostly represented by idiots who give atheists a bad name. Same goes for Christians. [quote]Because a congressman came out as gay before atheist[/quote] I don't really know how to respond to this one to be quite honest.
