I agree. Since as an atheist we don't worry about saying another eternal soul because we don't believe in the soul. So if someone wants to believe something because it helps them then go for it. Some of the animosity towards religion from artists I assume is because of persecution at some level. If we are talking ideals I would like to remove persecution of another person just because they disagree.
