Comment about article in Free Inquiry the Secular Humanist Bulletin. I believe this is good journalism because it inspires me to broaden my perspective about the conflict between religion and atheism to include the ideas of secularism. I have a different idea about the idea of a God. I believe "God" is an abstraction. That is "God" is an idea like "good". To say God is or is not a real person is a non-question. For those who say they believe in God to ascribe a personification to God is to go against the very biblical proscription against graven images. If you accept the idea that "God" is a way of accepting an orientation towards a solid moral and spiritual existence. Dawkins' arguments about the certainty of scientific evidence towards the actual facts of creation, for instance, are excellent ways to give one a comfort zone in which to believe that there is an objective truth. But, to deny people the right to enrich their lives with a spiritual and moral certainty is to be chauvinistic to the point of dogmatic authoritarian despotism. No one should be allowed that power over others' lives. To deny a person the right to wear a religious icon is the kind of tyranny that has no value to society.
