I believe everyone should be entitled to their own beliefs and opinions, but that they should keep their beliefs to themselves and not try to force others to believe the same. I am sick to death of people not respected my beliefs (or lack thereof) and of the 'door to door' religious types, you don't seem me banging on people's doors at 8 am on a Sunday telling them there is no god or devil etc etc, do ya? My family knows I'm an atheist, and for the most part, we agree to disagree (except my Gramma, she can't deal with it) With Christmas coming. I am wondering what you other Atheists/Agnostics do? I don't think of Christmas as a religious thing, but as an occasion to eat, drink and be merry with friends and family (also to give/receive gifts) I decline to 'say grace' but am quiet while others do it.
