Hi Neil,
You see, while you are an Atheist and I am a Christian, we both have a lot in common, as you already know.
What we also have in common, it seems, is to have to face intolerance for what we believe.
As you have seen in my earlier post, there is often a big difference between those who call themselves Christians and those who truly follow Jesus Christ (these are the ones who were first called Christians at Antioch.)
Even now, we are often called "Weird" by others who call themselves Christians.
For centuries, Christians were slaughtered by the thousands by others who also called themselves Christians. So you really need to know what people really stand for before just accepting the label they (or others) have put on themselves.
As I've said before, those who would discriminate against you because of the way you choose to believe or not believe are NOT following the teaching of Jesus Christ, the founder and only completely true example of Christianity.
God bless,
Dave
