3. I think I understand atheism pretty well

But then, even though I attend church regularly and am very active in the parish, I'm agnostic.

I have no problem with atheism or atheists. I don't appreciate the sort of atheists who can't seem to abide the notion that someone else might believe in a deity.

I'm well aware that many Christians want to force their religion on others. I hate that, and as a religious person, I'll fight it. But I wish people here would recognize that DUers don't fall in that category of Christianism. We are not the enemy.
