Yeah, I'm an Atheist, but it's not because of the horrible things done in the name of God. I think it's foolish to blame the leader for the actions of the followers. I mean, is Obama to blame for every misguided "Patriot" that decides to kill someone in the name of country? I don't think that's fair. But if you can make it through college without changing your beliefs, more power to you, but in my opinion you shouldn't fear having your faith challenged. It's good to know what you believe, why you believe it, and be able to back it up when somebody tells you you're wrong. I loved college too, it totally solidified my own personal identity in a lot of ways.

Can you be more specific? Do you mean the armed forces of the U.S?
Or the lone-nutcases on a mission to destroy? (and you can count them on your fingers in any given year ) .

I don't blame Obama for either. But I DO value the liberty we enjoy in this country to shoot our mouths of and think whatever we want. That in itself calls for a bit of Patriotism on our part , IMHO.
