They're (mostly) fine, but when I reveal that I think that religion is fundamentally evil - the source of most of humankind's problems - they're not happy.<br /><br />It just seems so obvious to me - once you give up your ability to think and decide and give in to some religion's rules and myths, you've surrendered a lot of your agency.
