I’m blessed to live in a country that has freedom of religion.  Although many countries around the world have freedom of religion, many do not.  This freedom exists not just for religious people, but also for athiests and agnostics. 

I recently read a quote that adresses that issue wonderfully, and I’m going to share it with you below.  It’s not trying to force religion on anyone, nor does it support taking religion away from anyone.  It’s a peaceful, rational thought that could help us all live together more peacefully.

“If you don’t believe in God, fine. I get it. You don’t have to. But why organize around disbelief? Why evangelize against something? I just don’t understand. Do people gather to share their dislike of music or art? Do people have meetings to talk about why they never started smoking? As Christians, we ought not be hostile. But in honest dialog, it is fair to turn the tables. When belittled for “gathering around our superstition”, it must be asked how gathering around lack of belief is inherently more reasonable or noble.” -Scott Smith (of TC Apologetics)
