Donald C. Peattie... For all our alarm, it is clear that the religious right is responding to a real hunger in our society... a deep-seated yearning for stable values...

Or, if nothing else, we can buy some spiritual books for the local library.

Everyone was like "Oh, you're missing out on the high school experience," so I'd go with my cousins to parties where there would be a keg and people doing body shots and playing quarters.

I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say that one is an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow it was better to say one was a humanist or agnostic. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect that he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.
