[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While it seems like there are more and more non-believers, it also seems, to me, at least, that people are hesitant to acknowledge it IRL, while religious people frequently telegraph their religious status, e.g., by wearing a Cross necklace or casually mentioning their participation in religious services.

What do you think that’s about?

Yes, because I'm only a cultural Christian.  I don't actually believe that God cares about me or anyone else, if there even is a God.[/quote]

In other words, I'm not Christian, yet I send my kids to Christian school, attend services attached to that, go through the motions of prayer, and sometimes go to church with my parents.  It doesn't mean I believe any of it.  I don't.  If God existed, my kid wouldn't have cancer, my husband wouldn't have a mental illness, and I wouldn't have lupus.  Yet here we are, being tortured until we die.  'God is good', my mom says - I think WTF?!  I smile and let her belive watching life torture us is somehow good for everyone.[/quote]
