Anyway, just wanted to say thanks again for all the warm welcomes!
It's a shame that most religious American's seem to place a higher value on believing bullshit than actually accepting their own flesh and blood for what they are. At least your wife 'tolerates' your atheism. Lol can hardly believe i'm saying that. As though atheism is some dispicable disease that destroys the rest of the world and forces people to go out and kill in the name of... wait... what?
Sound familiar?
In the UK religion isn't placed anywhere near the value of family and friends, except by the very small minority of bible bashers and muslims (although the muslims seem to be becoming less of a minority).
Great conversion story however.
