Living without religion

[Esquilax]

So it's just the same as pretty much normal life...?

---

Either way?

I have been inside a church precisely one time in my life, and that time was for a purely secular- charitable- reason. My life, aside from the religious observances, is exactly the same as my believer friends, our experiences aren't drastically altered by what side of the religious fence we stand on.

But we're normal; I've also never met a fundamentalist, but I get the feeling that the more you lean on religion (or atheism, though I feel weird saying it like that) as an underpinning of who you are... well, I guess that might do something for you. I mean, if you're into god to the point that you're homeschooling your kids and praying for them rather than taking them to the doctor, that's way different from anything I've ever known. I can't imagine what kind of mind would be able to justify that, but then, I've never been a theist. I don't know what a religious experience feels like.

So if you're normal... yeah, you'll be normal whether you're theist or atheist.
