text: why do some people just assume you are athiest? when you express an opinion about any religion,some more than others,why do you get branded an athiest?why cant you just be confused on the whole god/religion thing?and why is someone who doesnt agree is suddenly an athiest?and please can i have real answers and no scriptures?i dont need anything adding to the confusion. brainwahing is why. some people actually believe that you can't be a good person outside of their belief system (of control).  believe what you know to be true in your heart and brain. don't forget to use that last one! if you are confused by a "holy book", try something new. don't dwell on what you don't (or can't) know. don't believe everything you see and hear. worry about what you can do to help others. be a kind, compassionate person. have good will in your heart, especially when you don't want to. remember that we are all people even if some people are dumb. as you live your life, certain things will begin to make sense, if you let yourself see.
