I know that satanists like to say they are just atheists with a church. But really, to believe in Satan, AKA Lucifer, you must believe in God. Therefore, a satanist is just trying to rationalize their desire for deviant sex.
Atheists believe everything came from nothing in what is called the Big Bang. Sounds like Creation, tastes like Creation, smells like Creation - it might be Creation.
The only problem I see is the separation of church and state. For it to truly be separate is to not have any attachment at all. And that is because the fear of the government imposing and forcing a religion you don't want on you, against your will. Like the church of chop off your penis and let's do butt stuff. I don't want that forced upon me and I feel that a majority of the guys here feel the same way.
But it will always be a fight. This nation was founded, in part, on a desire for freedom of religion to not be under the Anglican Church of England but people here could be just as fundamental and pedantic.
So, then you end up with counselors from various "recognized" religions, which increases the budget of the school districts and raises everyone's property taxes.
That being said, I could have easily been home-schooled and know just as much as I know now. And I was raised by God-fearing people.
I have had my walk on the wild side, I have been in the pits of Hell. Heaven is a nicer place.
