I am Atheist, Humanist, and I belong to a group called the Ethical Society.
I was raised in a strict Southern Baptist church, which may explain why I am now Atheist. Ha Ha. I believe in "Just Be Nice." The people who don't believe in equality for all people, no matter what your color or gender or whom you marry, really bother me. I have a hard time tolerating intolerance.
I believe that dieties were created by humans the same way as Santa Claus was, just a story to tell, "You'd better watch out, You'd better not cry, Jesus Christ is coming back some day. He's making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice." Think about it. Both stories offer a reward if you behave a certain way for a specific time period. Both are just stories written by human beings. The difference is that along about 6 or 7 years old, we begin to realize that Santa is not real, but the adults still push the deity story.
