9/11
This is my first 9/11 as an atheist.
9/11 isn’t a holiday but it has become a day that Americans remember being attacked by religious extremist. America is the head of the snake. Yes, I know where I was on 9/11.
I was really ignorant about why anyone would hate our country. Like most Americans I spend my time with my family or working.
After becoming an atheist I now realize that religious extremist are what come from showing respect to religion. Religion doesn’t deserve respect nor should we give it. I’m not talking about people, I’m talking about religion. People can be religious, they can change and be non-religious, but religion will always be religion.

I was watching Penn & Teller awhile back and they called 9/11 a “faith-based initiative”. “Wow”, I thought, “they’re completely right”.
It isn’t “faith” that makes something good. It’s humanism. And these 9/11 hijackers had none. Neither do the James Dobson’s, Jerry Fallwell’s, Rev. Phelp’s of the the world.
All that’s required is to see your fellow many as a human as you and treat them as such.
