Yup. Silly indeed Big Grin

Quote:I am an atheist. I find that people seem to think religion brings morals and appreciation of nature. I actually think it detracts from both. It gives people the excuse to say, ‘Oh, nature was just created’, and so the act of creation is seen to be something miraculous. I appreciate the fact that, ‘Wow, it’s incredible that something like this could have happened in the first place.’ I think we can have morals without getting religion into it, and a lot of bad things have come from organized religion in particular. I actually fear organized religion because it usually leads to misuses of power.

Richard M. Stallman the creator of GNU kernel is also an atheist.If there wasnt for Stallman linux would never exist.

Quote:As an atheist, I don't follow any religious leaders, but I sometimes find I admire something one of them has said
