.lol. @ Alabamagirl. No need for the blunt implement there perhaps but yes I do think that atheism is a western construct. To draw a comparison avoiding ''religion'' in pre colonial Africa would have be like trying to avoid Islam while living in the middle east, it would have been unheard of, it was otherwise part and parcel of ones cultural heritage our very way of life was entwined with a ''religious'' focus, hence the commas around the word... holistic would be a better description.

Its only now with what western culture, along with their interpretation of religion, has afforded us that people question the exsistance of anything other than themselves and what they see before them.

Understandable that people just aren't interested in the matter and fall into atheism in the same way someone doesn't support a football team or something but as said its western culture and their version of things that allows for it in the first place, am placing emphasis on the seperation there... the thought that we're all born in sin and that Jesus will return and die for us like he did last time etc... hardly anything distinctly christian about what are supposed to be predominantly christian countries, they gave up on that one a while ago ?Victorian era? leading onto laws with no morals attached, science with no god attached.

Not good.
