Well doesn't everyone have to many maybes, not just religous folks.

Religious people have so

Religious people have so many more maybes. I'll list a few.

Maybe uncle bobby went to hell?

Maybe I will go to hell?

Maybe My wife and children will go to hell?

Maybe jesus is made up?

Maybe the creation story is a parable?

Maybe I'm stupid?

Maybe evolution is true?

Maybe we are related to all the animals?

Maybe Noah didn't build an ark?

Maybe Noah is a parable?

Maybe I could continue but I grow bored.

I'm just saying atheism actually seems to simplify whereas religion despite "knowing" this "god" did everything still makes for a lot of maybe's and what if's.

Faith is the word but next to that snugged up closely "lie's" the want.

"Maybe" is a sign of back

"Maybe" is a sign of back peddling. Certainty is what Hitler and Bin Laden have.

I'd rather live in a society that doesn't take it's religion literally.

It would be nice if religion got to the point like two friends sitting at a bar having a beer together trash talking the other's favorite NFL team.  I think that is the best humanity can hope for. "Maybe" if we did that our priorities could focus on problems all of humanity face and put the tribal bullshit on the back burner.
