Greatings from Sweden
Hello Atheist.

My name is Mathias and I live on the west coast of Sweden in a small town. (most of the towns are small in Sweden Wink I was brought up on a small island with majority of Christians (Baptists i believe), so many of my friends found jesus early on, I was lucky that non of my parents were believers so I could stand somewhat strong in this sects influences (even if I sometimes as the little kid i wondered why this jesus guy did not come into my life and made me feel that fantastic as promised). Luckily my parents divorced and I moved to the main land and I meet many other kinds of people and influences. To day many years later I have have grown my roots into electronic music and art. Always been a bit of a geek... I love science! And in academic terms i tried practical philosophy, psychology, sociology and geology (in that order Tongue) in search for understanding and work.

I have always been very naive in thinking people are much like me; have an open mind and trying to understand the opposite. But I have slowly wakened up to a world full of ignorant idiots. I have not lost my faith in humanity entirely, with the singularity approaching I think there is hope.

I am here cause I've recently come to realize that i rather define my self as atheist then an agnostic because of the problem arising when arguing with a child of Abraham, when you give them that little finger to grab, witch indulge them to think they got the higher stand, and it is not a good thing. I recently been thru a period of watching many videos with Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and Lawrence M. Krauss. A couple of years ago a thought their approach was little harsh but I have come to realize that religion have played out its role and its time to move on for the benefit for the progress of humanity. So count me in.

I am more of a thinker then an writer (slow and bad grammar) so my involvement in the discussions will probably be short inlays but I hope I will contribute anyway.
