Interesting.
Beliefs inform actions ... hmmmm ... I'm not sure how that would play out. Could you give me an example of how belief informs actions in a Xian context from the perspective of an Atheist so I could better understand whay you mean? Also how might that be reversed - (non) belief informing actions from the Xian perspective?
