I am proud to be an atheist. For me, science is adequate to answer life's questions. I am confident that the mysteries that haven't been solved scientifically will be. I think that humanity is capable of anything, and it will only be a matter of time until we achieve the status we reserved solely for gods.
Fellow atheists, please check in. Just state that you are an atheist, and why. If theists come in, be respectful. Lets see if we can have a conversation without it turning into a pissing match.

I am no longer ashamed to say I don't believe in religion. Having grown up religious, there was a pretty extreme stigma attached to the word atheism. I have found that over the last decade, that atheism is becoming much more acceptable. However, I don't take pride in being associated with the larger group. At least religions are uniform in belief, where atheists are not. I can share in a lack of belief as others, but completely disagree with the reasons why they have come to that conclusion. There is also a difference between those that proclaim no God can exist, and those that don't believe one does. I just don't like being lumped in with people who don't necessarily share my point of view.
