Hey,

I’m curious to know what role religion plays in your day to day live as I am myself from the east of Germany which was called by the guardian the most godless place on earth a few years back and I only know very few religious people personally. My few run ins with religous folks have all been rather nice so far. Of course there’s still influences of religion in Germany as a whole but not really in my day to day live and the whole topic of religion always leaves me kind of baffled when I try to understand it, especially since there are some weird concepts that I just don’t understand logically but it seems to be rather important to a lot of people. On the flip side it seems that it’s rather important to you to proclaim that you’re non religious. Why’s that?

    Gradually, humanity should rely a bit more on science than on omnipotent beings.

    That’s another odd thing for me because the people I interact with do exactly that. I mean no one thinks a plane would still fly if the numbers are wrong or that a crystal would still begin lasing even if you put it in the wrong cavity just because you prayed for it or something.
