Time Got Away from Me!!
I just realized how long it had been since my last post. A friend sent me an article he thought I would find interesting. Interesting indeed, so I'm posting the link and welcome any discussion.

I say athiesm is a religion and this article further proves it. It is clearly a belief system. A belief system that atheist parents are *gasp* raising their children to believe and accept as their own. "Atheist parents appreciate this nurturing environment."
By the way, it's about time. I was starting to worry!
Great post Em.
One thing that jumped out at me as I read was the comment regarding the percentage of Americans who claim atheism was 14 percent, but rises to twenty percent between ages 18 and 25. Not sure what they're trying to show, but what I see is that atheism loses it's appeal over time.
