    It meant nothing to me until I send my child to school and the school forced it down my child's throat.

    Since then it means to me that there is an absolute need for a secular state and education.

    This was the moment I started to identify myself as an atheist while before I would have said I just do not have a religion.

    And I hope that my children don't need to be an atheist but can just have no religion and do not believe in a god (if they wish to do so)

    This is interesting. It's kinda why I started this thread.

    It'd be boring if we all became atheists simply by virtue of being empirically minded.:pac:

    I choose atheism because religion causes a lot of problems in my life. It's because of religion that I developed OCD.I choose to learn the cold hard empirical truth about life than to be swaddled in comfortable delusions and out-and-out bullcrap.
