...I once asked my parents why they never forced us to church, like so many parents did back in the 50's. My dad said "We figured that if you decided that you needed religion, you'd GET religion." My brother did; I didn't....One of the joys of agnosticism/atheism is that we do NOT hate "***;" we simply choose not to participate, and we expect others to choose for themselves. That's why atheists don't go door-to-door recruiting new atheists...
