A skeptic friend mentioned this fine forum to me and I thought I'd love it.
I'm an atheist that grew up in yet an other secular republic where matters of the state and matters of religions are also separated. I'm a regular listener of Dogma Free America and of Irreligiosophy and else I mostly listen to science and skeptics podcast.
It's always a pleasure to confirm that the values that makes a democracy work somewhere on your side of the globe are also the norm for the on other side of the globe. Separation of church and state are the only way to end up with an egalitarian system where one's religion cannot rule over someone else's or oppress the people with none. I just hope we will preserve it like that in the years to come.
In any case it's more than a pleasure to compare notes with other atheists and free thinkers.
