Brandon mentioned something on The Cannon about explaining religion. He'd post general facts about his if we'd give ours a quick run-through. I immediately set about putting my beliefs into words and realized I can't tell people without sounding like I'm converting them. Fortunately for me and anyone interested Atheism is real simple. I'm a man of logic and reason and until I see proof I have no belief. I like to think random chance runs the show because it means anything is possible. It also doesn't come with any of the logical conflicts and contradictions of a world ruled by deities.
I've always found religion interesting, though. Most people of faith are ignorant people of faith and I take pride in knowing more about their customs and beliefs than they do. It sometimes leads to conversion, but if I do it right I can convince people to reexamine their own beliefs. I don't mind people who know their beliefs but blind followers are idiots.
But, like I said, I'd have to write a book or tell you just that much. If you actually want to hear the rant you'll have to talk to me in person. :)
