Well, we are atheists, and our children choose for themselves. Our son is atheist, but always defends the weaker. He understands what it is like to be judged and be different. He has been there. One of the kindest souls you could ever meet. He's 15.

Our daughter likes to go to church with friends, but I think that is because she is so social, more than anything. She volunteered her time recently to work a food drive, loves the charity projects that her scout troop does, and has a heart for animals. The minute she is old enough to be accepted she wants to volunteer at the local animal shelter, and I am certain she will be great at it.

Our children are raised by atheists who believe in and do give to charity, assist others who we know in our personal lives who are in need of help, and serve others in a variety of ways.

However, I would never think to judge that all other atheists are just like us or share our values. Just like other "groups" of people, we are individuals.

I think it is also important to clarify "atheist" as it is not exactly the same as the non-religious, the angry at God, or the couldn't care less if there is a god about to send the to hell or not crowd.

So are lots of religious people. In fact, a lot of pedophiles attend church for the easier access to kids and the trust it gains among the parents.

You are right. Those are some grand things to do, and would solve a lot of problems. Can you please explain what that has to do with one's religious beliefs?

You posted a thread calling out atheists and insulting them and implying that their beliefs are the problem and wonder why the group of people to which you belong gets criticized? Perhaps it is your attitude that makes people see you in a negative light, and your constant religious talk that makes them think there is a correlation.
