exactly

When I talk about my Atheism, I'm told by some religious people that I'm belittling their faith, because i guess faith and non believers can't live together in harmony. In their minds they have the right to discuss and be who they are but I don't.

The truth is though I don't want to convert anyone to my way of thinking. I just want to have the same right to celebrate my life and choices that they have. I've been talking about it more opening because I want acceptance. Recently I've found a circle of like minded friends, and now today there is a march on the mall in Washington. Not to protest religion or push Atheism, but to seek acceptance and celebrate diversity. NPR has an excellent story I'd like to share.
