I think I have more appreciation for atheistic and agnostic viewpoints since reading in this forum. Not from the overly reductionist and gross generalizations type of posts but from thoughtful atheists/ agnostics.

I feel like I have  probably have more in common with some atheists and agnostics than more literally minded religious folks in terms of believing that:
(A) women’s reproductive rights represent basic human rights (these decisions should be between women and their doctors) 
(B) the division between church and state needs to be legally protected to protect them both from corruption and exploiting religion for unholy purposes; 
(C) GLBTQ + rights represent basic human rights (other peoples’ sexuality and gender affiliations is none of my business and they are people worthy of the same rights as the rest of us); and 
(D) sensible gun laws are needed to reduce catastrophic mass gun shootings and accidental gun deaths.

I love God and love my church. However, living in peace requires commitment to protecting freedom of choice, shared human rights, respect for science and medicine, and democracy.

The Golden Rule is a transcendent moral code that I believe both religious people and agnostic/ atheists also believe in.

I do think that Christians need to do a better job of shining our lights in our dark world.
