But aren't you as much a believer as any fundamentalist Baptist? You can't prove that no Creator exists or that the Big Bang occurred.Maybe. I'm not going to judge what is in the posters heart. My point is that you can't be a "believer" unless you acknowledge that the possibility of it being built on fiction exists. It is inherent in the word "believer". If the origins of Islam, Judaism and Christianity were 100% fact, there would be nothing to question, hence nothing to believe.
The average Christian admits they cannot "prove" their belief. They admit faith plays a part. But the average atheist rejects any possibility of a non materialist dialectic.
When you promote this Secular Uber Alles mantra, it just means you want everyone to adopt your morality. If you really bought into your paradigm, you would argue "If you don't believe that pedophilia is moral, don't engage in it. Simple as that". I doubt you'll wax so consistent.
I view your argument that "Makes laws simply on what is needed for the greater good of our society. Leave God out of it" in the same vein. You are just saying that your morality, based upon your religious belief that there is no God, should dominate.
This Secularism that you profess was not embraced by virtually anyone until recent decades. Darn, how'd we ever survive this long and outpace other civilizations?
I think you're conflating the need to separate people's ceremonial religious practices with the common moral teachings which sprang from Christianity and have been accepted by our society. You need not be a follower of religion to see encouraging homosexual behavior as problematic. Separation of Church and State never meant separation of religious views and State. Atheists miss this IMHO.
