I began to read Nietzsche very young and after that became a pretty uncompromising atheist. Oddly I wrote an article 'In defence of the Bible belt', before I read this. I feel pretty much the same as you. I definitely wouldn't call myself an atheist these days. I also like Fallacis 'Christian atheist' concept. Martin Amis said - in the presence of his dying friend Christopher Hitchens - that atheism is too undeservedly confident of itself and that he prefers to be agnostic. I think atheism comes more from forces of reaction than of reasoning. People see the evil practiced by some religions and make a simple judgement based upon their emotions. And yet emotion has a very complicated relationship with logic and can be deceptive.David -defendthemodernworldhttp://www.defendthemodernworld.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
