Live and learn!! I'm an atheist (I don't like the word), but religion is important in my life because, apart from anything else, there's so much of the stuff around. It is making its unwelcome presence felt in many aspects of my life. The most powerful country in the world has an explicitly religious agenda. This affects all of us, whatever we might think about religion in general or that religion in particular. Apart from that, I was brought up in a culture based on a particular type of religion, so a great deal of my personality derives from my reactions to that. This is true of almost everybody on Earth. -- Cheers, Bob
