good follow up, I had already seen this before
I am waiting patiently for your next post. Religion is not something I embrace, but the freedom to be religious, or not I would fight to the end.

Thanks for your thanks :-) Your being a student of religion and an atheist provokes me to ask the following questions which by all means feel free to totally ignore if in any way you consider them prying or inappropriate. Here they are... Your being an atheist ... is it a product of the conclusions you have arrived to from your studies of religions? or... did you study religions searching for something you could believe in because you were an atheist... (ok one more "or" though this is most improbable)Is there no relation between your being an atheist and your choice to study religions. I am so sorry if these questions bother you, but as a professional I am curious. Whether you answer or not thank you for all I have learned by reading you and be well my friend xoxoxo

It is obvious you research with a fine tuned knowledge of the work. Your writing is excellent and you present your findings in a magnificent manner; however, you are wrong about being objective. Religious people are not always incapable of seeing the truth, being objective and respecting the non-religious.
I am not religious.
I am a Christian. Not all who call themselves Christian are that. I truly am one, as are many. I was religious once, I have never been a 'non-believer'; however I thought about Christians as you said in the paragraph about not being able to be unbiased etc., I thought them radical, ignorant and so much more that I am now so ashamed of because of educated ignorance. I was bias but from the other side. It is my contention that non-believers can't be objective. You can't qualify those things you cannot know!
