"I am an atheist. I do not take any religion seriously, although I support everyone's right to believe whatever they are able to believe. I still don't take religion seriously, and often find humor or even despair from people's religious beliefs, since they are so often far from what is actually taught by that religion."

The mixing of religion and politics have led me to be more cynical of those that constantly think it is necessary to speak of religiosity...for no apparent reason. I never know what to say or whether to say nothing at all. It is exhausting.
