Jesus turned me woke. Like him. Unacceptable to White Jesus, according to Megan Kelly the quintessential Christian of American faith.
I follow the darker version of Jesus.

(11,744 posts)I came out as an atheist long before really anyone I knew did. Some would say they were agnostic and that I was too.... which was interesting to be told what I was by others. So many people pushed back. It was tiresome.
It's nice to know that he (and his father) was also one.

(28,595 posts)"What kind of Jew are you? The atheist kind"... from the Kominsky Method, and the late, great Alan Arkin
I'm sure Rob laughed at that, like all of us atheist Jews.. Being Jewish is far more than faith or belief. we're a tribe.

(364 posts)Most of the decent, honest and rational people I've met in my 7 decades are Atheists.
Almost all of the worst people I've met were deeply religious.
It's been an easy call.
