Atheism is a faith. It believes without proof that there is no God. In this sense it is just as blind as faith in a God. I admire atheists who, though they say there is no God, act as if there is one. How? By the way they live their life in loving service to others. What gets them to live such a way of life? I can only speculate. I am not that person. But their life seems to witness to compassion, a sense of oneness, and empathy for those who are suffering in some way. In this sense, their faith is stronger than the person who believes in a God and goes to worship but connects little outside their clan, if even that.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!

I feel when the commonality is Love in action, the word we give to describe our faith/lack of, the label if you will, becomes irrelevant. The action of Love speaks in a way that has no separation, but a oneness. ✨️💖✨️
