(August 6, 2010 at 4:51 pm)Edward the Theist Wrote: All I asked is whether you noticed that freedom or not.

Oh yes... we are well aware that we (atheists) are free from superstition and dogma. We are well aware that we are free to live our lives without fear. We are well aware that we are free to live our lives as we see fit and that personal happiness comes from within ourselves and from each other (people in general, not just atheists). We have the freedom you talked about and, yes, we are aware of it.

Does that answer your question?

(EDIT: Let me add that the freedom you speak of is not why I am an atheist, but it is a nice side effect.)
