    I joined FFRF after seeing Ron Reagan's ad. I was raised a conservative Christian, and my conversion to atheism was a long, slow process. I was well over 50 before I really embraced being an atheist. It feels good to live in reality, but lonely, as most of my family clings to religion. I appreciate people, like Ron Reagan, who have the bravery to stand up and own it.

    you don't have to be an Atheist to wish for separation of CHURCH & State....Where I grew up, that was taught in school...

    How ironic that a country that claims to have separation of Church and State...........isn't.
    Bravo Ron Reagan.

      Tribalism, xenophobia, misogyny and so many other such behaviors *used to* be evolutionarily advantageous, but are now threatening our existence. Religion *used to* be good for humanity, but now endangers the entire world.

    I think anyone has the right to speak their mind. I agree as someone who struggles with religion ideology that the government should stay out of religion 100%. Because I dont think any religion should be pushed on anyone as it would be unfair to the opposing religion. But I do find that Ron had a disrespectful approach in some ways. Almost like he's a little to proud to be an atheist. Again, I understand his approach as he deems it nessaseary to get his point across and to lean in on this foundation. But it seems a little inappropriate in some ways. I dont know, just my opinions. But like he states, the government isn't burning people at the stake for their religious beliefs.

  • @2Uahoj
    @2Uahoj 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Of course we all have free speech and are entitled to exercise it, but what is the point of mocking each other, exemplified here by Ron's belittling and trashing religious people? Besides just being mean-spirited, does he really think this is going to win him converts among them? If you are going to make an argument against religion or for religion - make it, and avoid the nastiness, of which we already have far too much in society.
