My definition of being an atheist.

My definition of being an atheist.
No body ever wakes up one day and becomes an atheist. Especially someone who used to be very religious in his/her past.

It takes great amount of thinking and energy to understand the world from a different perspective.

Atheist's don't know the answers, we just know religion and society's definition of "God" was man made.

It's a mystery that we uncover every day with science, and it is what keeps us focused on bigger things than politics and war. Because no matter how you look at it, religion will always tie with politics.

There you have it, it's an over whelming feeling of wonder that keeps you on your toes no matter how many years pass by, it's knowing something is out there, and we are going to find it.

Compare this to a religious person who lives every day of his life contained in a gray area of faith that he doesn't know how to get out of, and tries to focus his energy on day to day tasks.
