come right out and say I was an atheist.

I still think the teachings of Jesus are profound and true: that we should help the weakest among us, the disposessed, etc. And I do consider myself a spiritual person, though I have no belief in the supernatural or personal deities of any sort. I just think real spirituality can sometimes be buried in ritual, and forgotten. At least, it was for me.

Anyway, I have nothing against religious people at all- I think there are alot of good Christians and alot of people who use those religious rituals as a path to spirituality, and that's fine. I just don't share the urge.
