I'm an atheist.
And my biggest pet peeve about that statement is the stigma it carries.
Particularly, it assumes that I don't believe in anything.
I believe in people.
I believe in the people getting pepper-sprayed at sit-down protests, and the people who are fighting to keep their people free at the cost of their lives.
I believe in courage.
I believe in standing up and fighting for what is right, and sticking to your guns. I believe in being afraid and doing it anyway.
I believe in ideas.
I believe that thoughts can change the word.
Words, words, words. We've got more of them than ever and I believe in putting them to use. What more do we owe Shakespeare than to use the word 'barefaced'?
I believe that people can do what's right without any reason other than the fact they know it's right.
I believe that people are amazing, brave, and very, very smart all on their own.
I am an atheist. But, I'm far from cynical.
I know the power of people because I see it everyday in everything I do.
We clearly don't need a god to be great.
