Welcome

I've started this blog with the hope that people will start thinking logically and critically about their world views.

Over this Thanksgiving weekend I read an article in Wired about prominent atheists calling for people to leave their gods behind and embrace science as the future. There has been a rise in similar stories recently; all of them about scientists frustrated with the influence of religion in schools and politics. I share their frustration and am just as sad/angry when I see some of the antiquated Christian views influencing our countries policies.

I don't share their belief that the only way to fix the problem is for everybody to leave religion completely behind. People will not leave leave their faith behind, but people of faith are not incapable of making good decisions. Religious people can remember that our country was founded on freedom. Religious people can remember that our country was not founded to be a theocracy. Religious people can remember those things and act appropriately.

Hopefully my posts will help spread my belief that we need to become a country known for rational thought, and not for religious biases.
