I agree with you 100%. I am an atheist, but I have always had a problem with that term. Christian tells me (to some extent) what you believe, but all Atheist tells you is what I don't believe. I have great respect for religious people, it shows an ability to have faith in something intangible and in something that can't be understood, I envy that. I also agree that views should change with the time. Christianity teaches us a great many things, and having grown up in a Christian country (the UK) I also carry many of those same vales despite my status as a non-believer. But bible was written thousands of years ago by people who held different values and had a very different understanding universe as we know. To adapt your beliefs isn't to desecrate your religion but to strength it, surly that is the definition of adapt? In my opinion, where I to believe, evolution only goes to strength the wonder that is God. Surely the arduous and amazing process of evolution is much more incredible that *poof* "there be humans here". I also agree with your views on those that try and force you to choose or force their view onto you and me. Isaac Asimov once said, "...surly God would prefer an atheist who's every word is love than a religious man who's ever word is hate?".
