C S Lewis on atheism

“Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.”

C. S. Lewis

In the U.S. we have a Bill of Rights that guarantees Freedom of Religion. You are free to believe in any religion you want; you can be a Christian, or a Secular Humanist (like me) or a Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Wiccan, Atheist, or whatever you want . What you may NOT do is try to force your religion on others, or try to turn secular institutions into serving your religion.

Religious tolerance has greatly contributed to the stability of U.S. for over 240 years. But some intolerant religious zealots want to impose their religion on all others, even by force. That's called Theocracy. Sensible people will put a stop to that.
