  1. For those members of clergy that are still preaching, but are now non-believers, and have been for some time, there is help at The Clergy Project. These people are ex-members of clergy and can help you to find a new way of life. As have so many members of clergy in the past that faced the same dilemma and did not have others in which they felt they could confide, please do not do anything drastic. You are not alone. For members of clergy to come out as non-believers is extremely difficult, because those who do, will lose their only means of income, often they will lose their families, and those they thought were their friends. Chances are, they will be on their own. After being a non-believer for approximately five years, while still preaching as though he was a devout believer, ex-pastor Mike Aus came out with his confession on National television. He now has support from members of The Clergy Project.

  2. Many devotees of religion want to blame a devil for "leading their spiritually weakened souls" to commit evil behavior. How else, and for what "reason" would the ritual of exorcisms exist among both Catholics and Protestants? Is the devil "able" to sneak into their souls, and rule over them? What happened to Jesus taking away all their sins, so the devil can't attack their souls? As an Atheist, if I commit horrible behavior, I will be taking full responsibility for that behavior. And if I am kind to others, I won't be feigning humility by claiming that it is a loving god that is leading me. It will be me that is responsible for both types of behaviors. It's time to grow up, and out of archaic religions.
