I think your faith is in the right direction. But Baptist fundamentalism can also lead to things like Westboro Baptist. It goes too far in one direction.

I think that atheists have the same dream for ending hunger and have the same belief that it can be ended with social justice.

Can't people understand that religious and atheist goals are the same?
Well, I have never seen this written on City Data before....basically, they all want the same goal. Insightful.
Worthy of it's own thread topic...."Atheists and the religious want the same thing"!
Do I sense a coming together?

If you believe the story. That's the problem with crediting the Bible.

We have always been 'together'. It is the need of believers to credit Christianity with the basis of all such thinking and treating us as the enemy because we don't see it that way, is what causes the problem.

Just thinking...

Some believers. Some.

Just as some atheists treat theists as the enemy and religion as the root of all evil.
