Going to the reason rally in D.C. If there is a heaven an hell I'd pick hell better class of people. Logic tells me if it is true the bible is still fiction . It is only a way to get you there.Now look at the people that do things,did things in the name of this book. These demons will be in heaven ! They were real . The bible is NOT history ! What real people did and do because of the bible IS HISTORY!

The sigh of relief of not having to carry a massive burden of guilt on my shoulders anymore that was given to me by religion. A close second would be when religious people tell me that atheists can't be good or moral without God yet I know and have seen countless nonreligious people that are doing so many wonderful things for others and not because they think that they have to, like if they were religious and wanted to give glory to a god, but because they genuinely care for their fellow humans and want to improve their lives regardless of if the person that they're helping is religious or not.

Today the morm-missies were at the bus stop. One asked me if I ever talked to missionaries. I said yes, I have. I said I usually wish them better weather, and then hope they find enlightenment. I then flashed the Vulcan split finger salute! It was priceless, the look on their faces!!

My best experience has been meeting other atheists, specifically that moment when you both realize that you don't need to have an internal debate on whether you should keep your beliefs (lack thereof) to yourself or go into a diatribe on organized religion.

Believers seem shocked when I tell them that atheists are the kindest people I know. For us we're kind and decent human beings because it's The way. Our motivations are inspired by neither fear nor incentive, which aren't reasons religious texts site (superficially at least) for doing good.

Superman does good... and so do atheists.

Actually knowing what I'm talking about.

First was finding out there are a lot of people out there who think l like I do. Who knew? Not me. I've always felt so weird because I didn't believe like my friends and family. And second is when I finally get my courage up to tell someone and find out they think like me. I've had that happen a few times recently. Love that!

Having been an atheist for over 50 years, every ]thing I have experienced has been as one. I have had some incredible experiences it is impossible to pick one over the others. I think I need some clarity as to what you are asking.

Listening to my children describe in turn their having concluded the same ~

There have been a lot of great experiences like all the Freedom From Religion Foundation conferences. But the best (and, at the same time worst) was the death of my partner. She was a life long atheist from Iran whose death was a model for us all. The community all knew her attitude on religion (she was an in-your-face type) and she sent out a message of no tears and no prayers. For 1 1/2 months the house was a revolving door of visitors and no one tried to convert her (not even her own kids 2 of whom are strict S. Baptists). One neighbor came by and hugged her and said out loud "you know you are going to hell". It was a joke and they both laughed. She was welcoming for the end and showed no fear. For months people told me how their views changed because of how she handled her own death. There were even positive comments from those that were religious. Maybe, even in her death, she got to plant some seeds.

I went to ReasonCon 3 to hear Lawrence Krause. There were other good speakers there too. It was a weekend of nothing but other non believers and I loved it.

Just watching Dr O.Hair,JD fire incompetent lawyers and taking over cases herself is empowering example of dedication to our cause : freedom from theocracy without compromise ....as Jon Garth Murray said, her good son: "Legalize Atheism everywhere" fighting false oaths, religious tests and taxes given directly to criminal religious businesses

I have a few stickers on the back window of the car and wear caps that make a statement. Having people stop me and tell me how they like my stickers or my cap makes my day.

Not sure I understand the question. I am an atheist and always have been so the question is equivalent to "what is the best experience you have had".
And the best experience I have had is something between me and that woman only ...

Working closely with Dr Madalyn Eads Murray O'Hair and the dozens of other activists she trained, organized and motivated.1981-1995

Getting up everyday and knowing I am on the path that works for me. Question, question. And no make believe friend in charge.

Finding out there was a name for what I believed in (Humanism) and that there were other like minded people in the world.

This group-has opened by eyes and I'm learning so much.
