As an atheist, I place a strong emphasis on personal responsibility, and it's something that seems to be lacking in the religious world.

About the Author
I’m a 33 year old husband and father who was raised in a Christian home and is the grandson of a lifelong minister. As a youth, I studied the Bible under my grandfather's guidance, and considered entering the ministry myself. I later came to question Christianity and began studying other religions. After years of study and even reviewing Christianity from a far more critical stance, including study of theology at a collegiate level and review of mythological correlations between all religions, I have come to an apatheistic atheist stance that god doesn't matter. I run an up and coming apatheist Facebook page named God Doesn't Matter and am a strong advocate for loud atheism and apatheism.

Attending a funeral is a test of my patience. Someone is bound to tell me the deceased is in a better place, and my urge is to punch them in the face.
There isn’t a short and simple answer to this question – but I think you may find the answers that are there, are a bit surprising.
Richard Dawkins once compared organizing atheists to herding cats; while this is an amusing and realistic analogy, I think it is something we should work on.
