I was a Christian, by choice, as a child. I didn’t come from a particularly churchy family, just nominally C.of E. I desperately wanted to believe, but I couldn’t summon the faith. I would have been wonderful if what we were always told was ‘truth’ had been true. Funny how much the word ‘truth’ is used in Christian propaganda.
Anyway, by the time I was a teenager I was a doubter. As an adult, I’ve been a fully ‘out’ atheist. As for the ethical, moral aspect of my life, I’m a humanist.

Atheism covers my lack of belief, while I subscribe to the humanist philosophy on morals and ethics that boils down to ‘do as you would be done by’ – which is basically similar to the Christian ‘do unto others only that which you would desire others to do unto you’ but without the superstitions and myths added on.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Italy’s most prominent Muslim commentator converted to Roman Catholicism on Saturday during the Vatican’s Easter vigil service presided over by the pope.
An Egyptian-born, non-practicing Muslim, Magdi Allam has infuriated some fellow Muslims with his criticism of extremism and support for Israel.Step in the right direction but he should have gone all the way and become an atheist.
i hope the chap has a good body guard and a lot of insurance, cos by leaving the islamic dark forces he may just have committed suicide. they dont do forgiving and turning the cheek in islam. they do murder and slavery. well done him tho.. buti agree he should ave gone the whole hog and left the evil of religion all together.
