Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

Fox News Discussion about Atheism with a Priest

I love watching others demonstrate their complete ignorance...
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.

I don't know if I would call the priest ignorant, because he was speaking through his faith, which I have no problem with. The only thing I didn't agree with him on regarding atheism is that most atheists are that way because they don't know any better, which is what he was trying to say about the people that "suffer" their atheism.

But, I can see his point a little, because my brother does not believe in anything, and I sometimes find myself wishing that he would have SOME kind of spirituality.

What I find interesting about their figures is that they're automatically labeling the 90% as being 'Christian' since 10% are Atheist?

Ahhh, hate to burst their bubbles there...But out of the 90% figure they have and are using, that also represent other non-Christian ideologies that do embrace some form of deity worship/observation...Not just the Christian perferred diety of choice or label.

That 90% would also include Agnostics as well, since although Agonostics don't worship/observe a diety...They also don't claim NOT believing in a diety...They just say 'until one is proven to exsist, I'll live my life as if there isn't one' ideology.

Because Atheism and Agontisism are different and aren't interchangeable terms of belief.
