I was raised as a Christian but when I was 8 I stopped believing. Only in the last year have my parents stopped forcing me to go to church (I'm now 14). I often argue with them about their religion and point out how illogical and absurd it is, but they still keep faith. They were both raised in Irish-Catholic families and their faith is a reminder of their own parents. I think that people need something to believe in; especially in todays society. I don't call people stupid or ignorant if they have religious beliefs, I think of them as desperate or longing.
Is it normal to feel smarter than the average person for being Atheist
