Welcome

We're here for our people. I'm a PM away if you need a sounding board.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

PM me your email address to join the Slack chat! I'll give you a taco(or five) if you join! --->There's an app and everything!<---

At the start, a lot of atheists are really (understandably) angry at having felt they had believe in a lie and that everyone else still does. Also it's a time to look for positive beliefs to uphold, as atheism is the mere absence of a belief.

Well atheism is the absence of belief in gods or higher powers and such like that, not the absence of belief in general. Saying that is like saying you don't believe scientific fact to be true, or really believe anything at all.

I still don't believe that "belief" is strictly something that belongs to religion.

It's all semantics. Completely depends on how you define the word belief.

Welcome aboard.  Which tradition did you come from, if you don't mind my asking?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It was kind of a mixture of a lot of different Pagan traditions. I never really knew which ones, but I guess that's the joy of Paganism, everyone believes whatever the hell they want.
