Freedom
December 14, 2015 at 4:54 pm
A few times I have heard atheists on this site being glad they are "free" from religion or they now have "freedom".  I would like to know in what sense do you feel "free" after leaving religion.  I assume most felt religion was a form of enslavement to a set of rules, guidelines, etc.

And in second part, do you think freedom means you are free to do entirely as you choose?  Is freedom without limits?  If there are limits, then are you really free?

Just interesting thoughts of the day from my brain.  Enjoy.  Wink
