Haha! That's a good laugh! So ALL leaders, no matter WHO they are, are inherently bad then because they restrict people from thinking independently? Is that what you are saying?
And just because 'you don't believe in God' does not automatically exclude you from being a sheep in some way, shape or form. Maybe you are a sheep at work, you are a sheep in your politics, in traffic, in the grocery store, in your marriage/relationship, and when you conform to any of society's norms, you are a sheep. I have already found many sheep on this site. Actually, myself, as a Buddhist, is probably one of the most individualistic thinkers on this site compared to the cancerous tumor of pessimists and atheists who plague this site with trite reductionist critque for a cheap laugh.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
