yeah, exactly.
this is why atheism is misunderstood. people, mainly religious people ...think it's about living an immoral 'do whatever you like' lifestyle. atheists have a more secure moral compass than most christians. and they live rightly because it's the right thing to do, not because they're afraid of burning for all eternity in hell. oh snap.

Its lost its novelty, its old and boring. Big ancient churches everywhere that nobody cares about. Its just a tradition more than anything else, you go to church for 3 things: A baby getting born, a wedding or a funeral.
