Islam is the world's quickest growing religion, atheism is the worlds quickest growing religious view (since it's not technically a religion). I don't consider myself 100% atheist, but I will never ever affiliate myself with any of the formentioned religions as they are so full of BS and are now exploited by governments and politicians. The Catholic Church is the richest and most powerful organisation in the world, yet they choose not to end poverty, and just ask for other people to donate.
I consider myself a free-thinker.

I'm a Christian and I agree 100% with what you said about the church.

I'm atheist in the sense that I don't believe in anything spiritual/spirits or a god, however as a conservative i wholeheartedly 100% support the Christian church and its followers, due to its teaching of morals, ethics, systematic values and place in education, as well as conserving the European Christian culture. I can see why many people reject religion, but they really do need to understand its vital place in the creation of the modern world, traditions, values, education and law. If our country's official religion, well not religion i guess, became atheism, it would be just another step to socialism thus impacting individuality. With so many becoming 'complete' atheists it'd also be a further step towards a single world, and as a strict conservative it is something i despise.

How do you link atheism and socialism?
well more so communism due to their belief in atheism/non religion. Atheism, as well as multiculturalism result in a single unified grouping of people ie - atheism = one common belief, multiculturalism = one culture, one race. hence, linking itself to the socialist/communist notion of complete equality.

Atheism isn't a common belief. It is a common lack of belief.
