gay is great

I just picked up Richard Dawkin’s book The God Delusion which starts with an interesting jolt. He believes that if more atheists “come out” as atheists, then this could lead to a movement that is as successful as the gay movement.

Its no coincidence that many gay people I know are closeted atheists, having been unceremoniously dumped out of a religion. When I ask a gay person what their beliefs are, I typically get a timid “agnostic” as a reply, but I suspect this would be a sturdy “atheist” if they started reading up on the matter.

I’m just wondering how many gays are ready to come out as atheists….hint hint contact me ;)

    It is strange how meek people are when it comes to this. But religion is a powerful thing. Both my parents are atheists but we didn't talk much about it when I was younger. Nevertheless, from as young as I can remember I have been for the most part an atheist. I find though that sometimes the atheist positions comes out of a response to a particularly strict religious up bring in some and then they define themselves in terms of their new found belief. I for one prefer not to play this dialectical game one that is also played with people gender identifications.
