I'm attempting to weigh the benefits of what active atheism has to offer.
So far, I've learned a lot about the religious argument. Now I know terms such as agnositism, theological noncognitivism, secular humanist, plus I've learned a lot about logical argument (esp' in the theology debates).
While I think I benefit intrinsically through acceptance and being able to call theist's ignorant, and religion ridiculous - I'm wondering where active participation will likely lead me.
I'm not interested in pursuing a life of argument. Some mention that atheism gives some freedom from religion for meaningful discussion; others talk about aspects of religious argument and the empowering knowledge brought about. And still there is the experience of becoming atheist, not shared entirely except through some common ground and the prospect of others becoming aware as we have.
Yeah, for arguments sake, I like atheism.
