I do actually care about this, I strongly support separation of church and state, what I don't care about is weather or not there is a here after. I do think that religion, including divinity in all its forms is a human creation, and as such, somewhat of a self fulfilling prophecy.

I very much agree with this perspective.  The fact that the U.S. constitution is so much a product of Enlightenment era philosophy makes me think that this understanding of religion as human-made (something right out of Voltaire among others) might have a lot to do with the separation of church and state that we thankfully have now.

And, I agree that principles like that need to be guarded.

Monika:
It´s interesting to see the different kinds of replies that a little thread on atheism creates.

I agree.  I am always amazed by the foresight of the founders of our US Constitution.   Not only does it provide for people to believe how they wish, but also to keep religion out of government.   :)

Sophia:
I am glad that state and religion are as part as possible.  :)
