My mother and I got into an argument because I was singing "Bohemian Rhapsody."

To be precise, my mother attacked me for singing "Bismillah."

Perhaps the thing that turned me away from Catholicism was hearing great, hopeful things with a group of people who believed such things and loved their neighbors, then seeing them behave as despicably and hatefully as anyone else the minute they step out of the church.

Of course, reason caught up to me and I abandoned theism as a whole.

I can admire religion. There's something really uplifting about the unity that comes with shared belief. It actually makes me smile when a group does something for others in the name of their great faith. But the religious people I've been around are the biggest hypocrites I've ever seen.
