Reply #12: Because some idiots think that only religious people are ethical and moral

[MorningGlow]

And too many people believe that only Christians are ethical and moral. That totally pisses me off. I know lots of nonreligious people who are absolute saints (so to speak), and we ALL know lots of "religious" people who are the most reprehensible individuals on Earth.

Most of the time, if I tell your average Joe that I'm a pagan (or, heaven forefend, a witch), they automatically assume that I 1) don't believe in God, 2)don't pray, and 3) am not only amoral, but immoral. Of course the exact opposite is the truth for all three of these assumptions. But alas, "majority rules", for better or worse. Oh yeah, and ignorance rules, as well, especially for those who, when you try to educate them on your chosen religion, plug their ears and start shouting "La la la la I can't hear you!"
