[€uroMeinke]

I don't think I'm that absolutist as an atheist. It's just my belief that there is no god, and so I live my life and make my decissions based on that belief.

On the other hand, I know many of people who believe in god and have had life tranforming experiences that have contributed to their beliefs. For them, I can certainly understand why they believe what they do, and thus I fully expect them to make decission and act on their lives in accordance to those beliefs, to not do so would be insincere and inauthentic.

But by that same token, for me to be sincere and authentic to myself, I must claim atheism.
