I’m recently a born again Atheist, who’s trying to get by his Militant Atheist stage and go directly to the Cognitive Atheism. It’s a tough road, because as soon as you start to realize that you’ve been lead by a carrot by religious groups who feed off peoples emotions to promote their cause, it’s easy to feel a bit like you’ve been conned all your life. It took me some thinking to realize that the reality is that most Creationists aren’t out to fool the world. A great majority of them push their beliefs on others as a form of affirmation to themselves, so they can feel that they themselves are on the right path. So I’m trying REAL hard, not to be the militant terrorizing Christian hating monster.
