Well I hope you don't ascribe that view to me. I don't believe in God, but that's just my opinion.

And I would be the last person to ever hold that against you.

I think I have the same problem with atheists that they have with me...  It's not the idea don't like, it's the certainty of it.  Truth be known, on most days I'm simply "agnostic".
