Thanks for sharing, Shawn. I learned as a child and as an academic, "atheists" are usually the most kind and caring people one can meet. My parents have always had both non-religious family and friends. There isn't the condemnation and shame often stemming from blind ("moral") dogma with such people-- though of course, many of my favorite people are Adventist!

I'm so glad you've continued to have good experiences with people of all kinds. You would love my many professors over the years! True academics are always questioning for something better in the world, always curious, always willing to learn.

This is such an important concept to understand! Jesus showed us the way with His interactions with the Romans, and any other non-Jews, who might as well of have been atheists in the eyes of the Jewish Elite. Thanks for sharing this!
