It is a strange feeling, knowing oneself as an atheist yet being published in a Christian magazine, but if it is possible to be Christian without being closed-minded and dogmatic, the people at Relief are pulling it off. No one becomes atheist without first struggling with these “questions of faith” — which is no doubt why most atheists tend to know more scripture than most theists — and if you’re an artist or a writer, you tend to write what you know. So it seems to me that atheists have a lot to say about religion… I was just surprised that religious people would be interested in hearing it. And that’s what made me conclude I was drawing religious people with too broad and clumsy a brush. If nothing else, they opened my eyes to that — and taught me that I was being a little closed-minded too.

(Not that I’m not still aware that the world is full of people who would just as soon burn me at the stake as look at me…)

They seem to be open to new ideas without betraying their core beliefs. BRAVO!

Thanks for the recommendation!
