madblaster, how is atheism a scam?
is there an atheist organisation that asks for a tithe in return for a promise of...well, anything? the core of atheism, as i see it, is that the notions of good and evil lie entirely in the physical realm and control of man, not in any abstract entity such as god or the devil. don't try and make out that being god-less means you have no grasp of ethics. if anything it gives a greater appreciation of why you should do the right thing - because it's the right thing to do, not because you get an after-life reward.
