Well, I'm not an Atheist... I'm Agnostic. Neither religion nor atheism makes sense to me.

I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure—that is all that agnosticism means.
-Clarence Darrow, Scopes trial, 1925

And I entirely agree. I think it's just as foolish to follow on religion as it is to be an Atheist... it truly is the same thing.

I enjoy studying and exploring all sorts of religions... they all hold truth, and when you strip the myth from them and take in the moral behind them, it's much easier to understand the true message behind it. That's the thing, though- there's nothing that suggests one religion is "Teh Religion"... in fact, evidence suggests they all stem from the same mythos.

I entirely understand why someone might choose religion, though. However, even if you're religious, that's no reason to turn away from the teachings of other religions (which are in fact often nearly identical)... yet I often see people do that.
