Interestingly enough, I saw a 'freedom from religion' billboard this evening, and said 'Amen!'. If 'religion' is some sort of burden or obligation for you, then free yourself, now. Sure, there are some ethical or moral guidelines that go with any belief system...but religion and spirituality shouldn't be about guilt! I'm afraid that here in the US, that's what it's become...either you're religious, and thus judgemental, restrictive, and guilt-ridden, or you're an atheist/humanist and happy. That's unhealthy and wrong, I believe.
