I am atheist, but I only became one at the age of 30. So despite not believing in any god anymore, I still have a framework that has been instilled in me from a young age. I think this is a serious problem nowadays, because kids are being raised without any framework, and the lawlessness today is proof of what happens when people feel they can do whatever they want. They also grow up to be intollerant and hate religion.
For me, I've given it up, but I'm still cool with anyone regardless of their faith. My whole family is still Catholic and I love them. I don't think of them any differently than I did when I had faith. That said, I'll never return to religion. I imagine the same is so for others. But we need to instill, for lack of better words, 10 commandments for those who do not believe. I think without these laws, they are lost and wandering.
