A thread with something GOOD to say about both religion and atheism - and agnosticism

I thought this would be a nice refresher from the threads full postings that suggest that the former two can never live in the same world without mutual hostility, and that the third is merely a faction of the second. So please keep it peaceful.

Atheism: Be proud, because to be an atheist you must be able to face fear. It's a scary way to live, believing that there is no Divine, no guiding intelligence of the universe.

Agnosticism: Be proud, because to be an agnostic you must be able to live with uncertainty. Acceptance of a lack of knowledge is a difficult state to sustain, with our human urge to understand.

Religion: Be proud, because to be religious you must be able to have faith. It's not easy, for many, to believe things that cannot be proven with quantifiable measures.

Hope I brightened everyone's day a little.

Small correction (if you want to be technical) its Athiest, Agnostic, and Theist.
