Atheists & Agnostics

(5,125 posts)Not a fan of what I call "fake Christians" because what they do and say is opposite of what Jesus taught.
I am a fan of Jesus and His example of how to be good to others in this world.
I do think the 10 Commandments did help to set some boundaries.
I do think there are churches that work in their communities and make a positive difference.
BUT I understand the Inquisition, Crusades, Borgias and Salem Witch Trials were huge abuses of the power of religion over the people.**AND OF COURSE the current MAGA crusades***
I THINK religion is simply a way for individuals to think about being better and work together to make it happen.
There are other ways to do that.
In America, we are supposed to be free to choose any religion or none of the above.
I think separation of Church and State makes each organization better.
Just me.
