Most of my family is pretty religious. I'm not religious at all, but I also don't call myself an atheist, or even a spiritual person. My grandmother knows this and she took some time to talk to me about it a few years ago. She said to me that it doesn't matter to her if I believe in God or the teachings of the Bible, but that it was important to her that I had respect and wonder for the world around me and to be able to feel the energy that flows through everything. I would go as far as saying I do have respect, wonder and often awe for the world as well as the people around me.

I do have a problem with people invading my space and disrespecting others, which the woman preaching on the bus was doing from my point of view. It's not your fault that the bus driver decided to take the woman to the police station, but when someone can be blamed for something, they usually end up getting blamed.

I wonder if you've read this article about atheism that I posted here.
