Hi everybody.
I come from Belgium and I'm 27 years old. I was born in an atheist family.
My native language is French so please, don't hesitate to correct me when I'm wrong or to tell me when you don't understand.
I grew up in an atheist family but some of my relatives are Christians (catholics or protestants).
In Belgium, at public primary school (from 6 to 12 years old) and in High school (from 12 to 18) you have to chose a "philosophical lesson" : catholic, protestant, judaism, islam or "moral" (religion free).
So I followed the moral lesson and I didn't receive any religious education, but I went to church on each Sunday for 2 years with a friend.
I'm a bit worried about Islam in my country, because we have more and more immigrants from North Africa.
I have some good friends that are muslims but they don't practice a lot.
I'm fed up with all these muslims trying to convince us that we are stupid, racists, that we don't understand, that we must read...I've read a lot about islam and this is definitly not a religion of peace.
In Belgium, there is a local political party called 'islam' that wants to apply charia law to Belgium...
I watched a few videos about Christians in USA, about creationism and intelligent design, and want to learn more about religion in USA.
