I'm sure that what he meant was the "opportunity" to think for ones self. A lot of the stigma has being lifted in this, our enlightened age. Not so very long ago, to have proclaimed yourself as an atheist would've been akin to coming out of the closet as a child molestor, or...*gasp*...one a them ho-mo-sex-uals.
Look, atheism is nothing new. It's been around since man first uttered the words; "Say what, now?" I remember being in the first or second grade, and asking if Adam and Eve were cavemen. That ponderance began a lifetime of questioning, and searching for real answers...not rhetoric. Today, I am the result of what I've found.
Who knows? Maybe tommorow I'll turn over a rock that I have heretofore overlooked, and find something that will change my entire outlook. But, for now, and for the foreseeable future, I am an atheist. Have been for most of my life.
