I didn’t mention anything about opposites, I just don’t believe in one more god than you.

I was raised Christian, went to Sunday school and then church when I was older. Once I was old enough to think critically for myself I decided it wasn’t for me. I have no issues with the general principles espoused I just don’t think, on the balance of evidence, that there is a god.

No state = no taxes paid in order to pay for state assistance = less animosity towards ‘illegals’ for using said state assistance.
