about 2 years ago. it was an evolution. i was born and raised catholic.

just a few weeks ago i was talking with my cleaning woman and i mentioned that i was an atheist. she seemed shocked and said "you are"?

i think the problem is people think if you don't believe in god -- if you have no one to answer to -- you're a bad person. they don't realize that you can be honest, charitable, kind, etc. just because it's the right thing to do and makes you feel good.

BTW. i read that obama was an atheist before he became a christian. i tend to think he's a christian in name only for political reasons.
