I think the atheist table is a jollier place than people imagine. I'm hoping that the term "atheist" will eventually lose it's pejorative sense. (According to a recent poll, us atheists are the least trusted group of people in America.) I've only recently grown fully comfortable with the label myself, (I identify as a secular humanist more often because it doesn't produce the same shock that "atheist" does. Maybe it's because a lot of people don't know what "secular humanist" means.) I hope to promulgate "atheist" as something perfectly warm and fuzzy. (Ask those who know me - I'm a kitten doting, cry at dog movies, sentimental sap whose big vices are corn dogs and Dole Whip.)
Anyway, Tracilicious, it's inspiring to hear about you grabbing hold of your own emotional and intellectual freedom. Wherever this journey takes you, you rock.
