Secularism is needed to limit the imposition of religious beliefs on people who don't share them. Your rights should not be restricted by someone else's religious beliefs.

@sand I signed up for an account yesterday, but I'm a very long way from figuring out what I might do with it.

When someone tells you that you are the first atheist they've met, how do you respond? How do you take advantage of such a moment?

How can you claim to worship something you can't define and don't understand? If you aren't sure what this "god" is, how is worshiping it any different from worshiping nothing or everything?

The notion that some sort of god never gives anyone more than they can handle is clearly false and undermines empathy for people who are suffering.
