I'm a christian protestant atheist..
I don't know what to think of religion. I kinda agree with Christopher Hitchens who calls religion the greatest source of hatred in the world.
On the other hand, religion can be an inspiration to do good. Well, but atheism can be too, so.. anyways, I hold freedom of religion and the right to believe in whatever you want for a basic human right, and it doesn't look like religion is gonna go away anytime soon. Secularism can limit the damage religion causes though, so as long as there's seperation of the state and religion, the negative effect of religion can be limited.
Speaking of secularism, I'm really amazed to see one million people in Turkey demonstrate for secularism and against islamization of their country. Long live the turkish republic!
