Atheism in the USA

I don't know nuttin'. I'm a fence sitter extraordinaire, and not proud of that fact. And I don't think having faith 'just in case' constitutes having any kind of faith at all...so that's not where I'm coming from.

BUT, I went to an outdoor big churchy concert tonight and it was a beautiful evening and the musicians and singers were fantabulous and kids were playing and people were be-boppin' along and it was very peaceful and yet very rockful and I needed that.

On the way home, just as I left, my radio station played Spirit in the Sky. That was one of the songs mom chose for her funeral and it was fitting.

So, real or not, I sometimes find comfort in the joy religion CAN bring, when it's not all about sinning and hellfire and 20 Hail Marys and ten Our Fathers.
