Congrats, bro. You're really moving in a positive direction. As for me, I don't think I'll ever be able to do that. It would be great if I could, but I don't know if I could ever see religion in anything other than a negative context. Far too much water has gone over the dam for that, as it were. Further, I've my own family who refuse to even talk to me since I stopped believing. My wife is still a believer, and it has not messed up our relationship any, but she still hopes (and prays) that I'll "see the light" and change my mind.
I wish I could pull off what you are doing. Perhaps one day I can get my head into that place. But I just cannot see religion as anything other than utter poison that has absolutely nothing positive to offer humankind. If you've read Hitchens, then you have a good notion of how I feel about it, and for very much the same kind of reasons.
But I'm glad for you FFF, you are doing a very positive thing for yourself. Keep it up.
