Goodness this was a nice title to read. Some days it is hard to be of the minority of atheists in the USA.

just another day out trying to get ready for...ah... Hmmmmmm, hard to avoid all this...festivities! Yea, that's it. Maybe one of these days I'll get a pict of my ...festive mug. But maybe not. It... never mind girls...

About time. Think I read that Oregon had a higher percent of "none", or unchurched. If our family is any indication of what is happening, we are going that way. Have 14 grand kids, and none are attending a church.

This is a good thing. As we mix with other religions hopefully we will have less wars, religious divides and more peace and harmony in the world.

Within the service area of my local weekly paper the 2nd page obituaries give me hope. Sad, but it’s impossible to envision the youth I encounter anywhere near as religious as the descriptions I’ll read of their ..grandparents.

I suppose it’d be an easy search, but I’ve always felt the US has lagged behind other industrialized or enlightened nations with our slow evolution away from religion.
Anyway, are ‘we’ (around here) ready ready for primetime!

I have been considering opening a coffee shop, very small, for the secular among us. In my community a single table and four chairs would be adequate. I think I shall call it DARWIN'S DONUTS AND DIALOGUE.

I see in my children and their peers (late 20s to mid 30s) that there is a falling away from religion. We brought the kids up going t church, and they stopped going as soon as they could, except for the one keeping daddy happy. I think there are lots of people looking for a social peer group, and they find it in churches even if they aren't really believers. Maybe that could be an opportunity for secular groups to have a "church" where people can hang out, have coffee, learn about opportunities to help the community, have activities for the children,and go home feeling good.

Yes, Virginia, there is hope!!

Mythology is much cooler than our modern monotheistic religions.

I certainly hope so. Having a populace that can be so easily manipulated into voting for charlatans and opportunists simply because they claim to be fellow believers has brought this country to the brink of ruin.
