Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

By the way, atheism is not an “answer to a universally asked question.” It is the lack of answer, because atheists don’t need to ask it. Religions are losing their “churched” faithful because there is no automatic desire to ask questions that form the basis of religion, in the modern age with advanced science to explain stuff. Being a practicing, “churched” member requires indoctrination, usually from birth, or it would not occur to young people to spend any mental energy on religion.

Non-belief is not a “system.” It is simply saying, “No thanks, I’ve never bothered reading Lord Of The Rings, I have no desire to, and what the hell makes you think Gandalf is our lord and savior anyway? What an absurd notion about a fictional character.”
