I am a fundamentally faithless individual. Thing is, I recognize that "faith" isn't a detriment. It provides solace and strength to many billions of people. It is neither good nor bad; "faith" is that thing that makes us stick together when we shouldn't. One might argue that "faith" is at the core of being human. So when I say that "I am a fundamentally faithless individual" it is not a brag. There have been many times in my life when having "faith" would have been greatly beneficial. There have been many times in my life when some sort of "faith" would have made my life much easier. But there it is - I have none. Part of the problem with the modern atheist movement is that they aren't "faithless." They're anti-faith. They're swapping one dogma for another without really considering what we draw from religion and what we should keep. Most of their arguments are sound, are justified and make a lot of sense... but those three qualities rarely apply to the human psyche. So I interact with the faithful and tell them if they want to pray for me I'll be flattered, but that I can't do the same for them because I just don't have the plumbing. I dated a girl who was militantly anti-dairy because she used to work in a pizzeria and then discovered she was lactose intolerant. She wasn't regretful; she was pissed off at everything and everyone from the cow to the milkman. It wasn't attractive. Some people are allergic to dairy products. Some are allergic to faith. How you handle that allergy says a lot about who you are.
