...Religion as a whole? I think so.
I was an Atheist from the age of 14 to the age of 24.
It was learning the tenets of Reform Judaism in a college-level Comparative Religions course that finally corrected my hateful views towards Religion in general.
What say you?
Pennywise:
Fair enough, I wasn't suggesting that you covert; just that Atheists should learn a little more about religion than what American Evangelical Christians believe.
I see all these problems Atheists have with "Religion" and "Theism" which are completely irrelevant to Reform Judaism; perhaps Atheists are just looking at the religions that reinforce their preconceived notions, rather than taking a broad look at all religious practices.
SJReality:
Reform Judaism holds that the Tanakh is a written redaction of no less than five different human author's take on an the ancient Hebrew oral tradition, not the inerrant word of G*d; and that it should be read as such.
