To the Atheists w/ a Religious Past : That Nostalgic Feeling

[InbetweenDreams]

@calgor I wouldn't call it brainwashing. Indoctrinated, perhaps more appropriate if anything. I think the thing to understand here is there's nothing wrong with what you or others believe--even if they don't believe in anything, so long as it doesn't infringe on others personal freedoms....things like missionary work, or converting people. Not a fan of that.

There is a subset of atheists who feel it necessary to "de-convert" people because they feel that religious faith, pick your flavor, is something comparable to the tooth fairy.

I've certainly heard plenty of people's beliefs that I think are completely nuts, but I also don't tell them they're stupid and full of shite.
