Did you ever watch, "The Invasion Of The Body Snatchers",--that old movie, I think they have done a remake of it. Don't you think the stimulus for that movie was the Christian born again movement? They are coming for you. its for the best, its futile to resist. 
The chosen people---what balls, and the Christians believe it-----both hands now, can you find your own ass!!  |
I hear you Boagie! But isn't atheism just another belief system? when I really think about it, it is not a specification of religion to have a God, so being atheistic (non-god) doesn't make you non-religious or non-belief- systemic.
The latter (non-belief-systemic) would be an anti-belief system stance, but wouldn't an anti-belief system still be a belief system which believes belief systems are wrong?
How do you qualify atheism as different from religion/belief systems?
