People should not have a say in what someone else’s religion can and cannot be, someone should be able to chose to be Atheist without the fear of someone else criticizing them. There are a few good points to justify why Atheists are just like other people: Atheists can be “happy, balanced, moral, and intellectually fulfilled,” Atheist can teach people Ethics and such, Secularism can be good for the country if taken properly, and Evolution is Proven and Accepted.
Atheists can be “Happy, Balanced, Moral, and Intellectually Fulfilled.”

Catholics once again wait for God to make conditions improve for them instead of going and making things better for themselves.

Unlike some older generations, the generation of now are more skeptical to think of other matters above religion. and instead of trying to explain yourself in the matters of Birth Control, Abortion, Etc. you can simply reply with I’m atheist. Another great point is Evolution.
Evolution is Proven and Accepted “Most people who oppose Evolution, Natural Selection, is because they believe that is all based upon chance” (Dawkins). And they aren’t entirely wrong, because it is somewhat based on chance. We cannot choose how we are going to adapt or change. But, we do know that we change in ways that makes surviving in our area easier. Such as that our jaws used to much bigger and fit more teeth, but since we have been able to cook and soften food, our jaws have gotten smaller and our teeth have gotten
