Im not athiest, but this is brilliant. This goes for people who are homophobic too. If you dont approve of gays, but dont protest or anything, then ok. I respect your beliefs. But if you go around saying 'gays are sinners' and protest it, thats just stupid. Believe what you want, just dont let it affect others
Here's an analogy I once heard regarding gay marriage:
You're at your favorite restaurant. You have your order in mind, waiting for the waiter when you hear the people next to you order. They don't order your perfect meal and that makes you so irrationally angry that you flip the fuck out when the waiter asks what you want.
------------
Gay marriage is the same. You want something, someone wants something else. Because that something else isn't what you want, you hate them and everything else for it.

I agree with everything except the last highlighted part. I don't talk about religion at all; it's a bit interesting, but I don't like talking about it :P
I'm in! Have been this way for a long time. Wish that those that do believe in god were quiet Christians as well!
I also love a good, intellectual talk about religion. It is usually quite thought provoking:)
No hate♥
Not all Christains are complete Asses, I'm a 'Quiet Christan' I will talk to people about my God, I will discuss, mister to others, but I respect it when they turn me down or give me the finger or what ever, there's a saying that reigns true 'Christians are the only one to shoot their wounded' which with too many, is the case, don't let those asses make all of us look bad, just like there are good black people, and bad black people, good white people, and bad white people, so in and so forth. :)
Quiet religion sounds awesome, but I am glad this came from an atheist. I am Catholic, with over 600 "friends" on Facebook. Rarely (maybe once a month) do I see a post about God being great or anything. But I can guarantee almost once a day there's a post about religion being shit etc. And they always bounce back with "it was shoved down my throat."
Then don't shove your beliefs down someone else's...
Agnostic. You have just described agnosticism. Agnostic is the word you were looking for. An atheist believes there is no god, a theist believes there is a god, and an agnostic believes there is not enough evidence either way.. . . basically. Good idea, but it already exists bro.
You sir, are a good man. I will now describe myself as a quiet Christian for the same reasons and hope that we can all enjoy each other's company and not discriminate.
