Tommy Wallach Dear Ferial, I never said I was a better person for being an atheist. But I do believe the world would be a better place without religion. Many people believe the same; many people don't. It's a debate. It's a conversation.

As for your point about money, it doesn't make much sense. I guess I could try and write essays about everything that has ever caused conflict between human beings, but I have books to write. I wrote about atheism because I think it's a subject that doesn't get enough exposure. People, particularly the young people I wrote for, are afraid to voice their problems with religion because this country is predominantly religious, and there is often angry, very personal backlash. In fact, you're the living proof. :)
