2. Do you politely agree to baptisms, circumcisions, weddings in churches, etc.. In order to appease religious family or societal pressures?
|
Not quite sure what you mean. I would not baptize my kids, I'd prefer not be in churches for weddings, etc.

3. Considering the state of the world today with radicalism in religion from the USA to Iran at a noticeably growing rate, do you feel more responsibility to speak your beliefs and fight to spread atheism to friends/family?
|
Yes to a degree. As long as my family/friends are open to discussion, I'm happy to talk about my beliefs. Though its hard with a Catholic girlfriend some times.

4. Are you as an Atheist looking for a more focused plan and leadership online or locally to focus your efforts? Or would you prefer to not be involved in any Atheistic movements?
|
I think its important to get a more focused plan and leadership, though whether I'd participate, I'm not quite sure.

5. Finally, are you optimistic that hundred's of years from now religion will be much less of an influence on this world or are you of the belief that we are going to be under religious influence for a long long time to come?

Well as we've seen in the past few hundred years, the realm of knowledge controlled by religion is shrinking more and more. So in terms of science, I'd say yes. But I'm not sure if morally or ethically, it was follow similarly. I think people will continue to cling to these beliefs, as archaic and irrational as I find them.
