First shouty atheist wins five pounds. I've always been agnostic, believing in something But certainly not a Christian God, or one so defined by the church. I have, however, come to the conclusion that the people I meet at church-I accompany Mrs.C now and again-are often the most decent, kind and helpful people I know. The most common factor in all the best & most respected people I know are involved in divinity; Vicars, practicing buddhists, a couple nuns. I see much to admire about endeavouring to live a decent, kind life and although that attitude is not exclusive to the religious, I find myself more often drawn to that community for answers and support. To conclude, I'm going to church and stuff because I like the people. I'm not so keen on the hymns and -so far-reaching their God. Faith shouldn't be a dirty word.

Not too long ago a couple of stw'ers mentioned how much they got from their faith. This warmed me. Religion isn't for everyone and a lot of wrong is done in its name. I take solace in someone's choice to believe and be at peace with their choice. Live and let live.

Or.. a different assessment of evidence

What evidence?

Live and let live.

Absolutely and on an individual level I quite agree.

However on a societal level religions don't seem to agree on this principle as many seem happy to exert their influence over the lives of non-believers too.
