The discussion on Atheism was fantastic! I appreciate everyone who came and spoke or came and listened. We touched on a lot of complex ideas about personal faith and where atheism fits in the realm of religious diversity (or if it even does), or if a statement of belief, and the fact that there is an American Atheists society, goes against the concept of Atheism. It got a bit meta, didn’t it? (Why are we talking about it if it doesn’t matter anyway? Oh man) Anyway, I loved how open people were to this discussion- I myself knew a lot less about atheism than I thought, and throwing these ideas around helped me learn more even after research. You guys are great, and keep that open mind.
See you next Monday!
check out the website for American Atheists, which I referenced a lot on Monday

An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanquished, war eliminated. He wants man to understand and love man.
