its about time people learned religion is lies and is used just to control.

@Magix1reaper It seems that some people need a sense of closure.

[euzebiogb]

Awesome!

[Magix1reaper]

Wait wait wait... what? You have an anti-baptism ceremony? Why? If you've turned your back on the church why do you care to have that removed?

@joshkkv i agree its about time

@sh0werp0wer Actually, that is northern europe. Western europe still has a majority christian population, about the same as the us, at 70%, but the rest are agnostic/atheist, muslims, jews, etc. They just have a larger atheist rate then us, around 20-40% depending on country.

[sh0werp0wer]

Well western Europe is already at around 80-90% so welcome after America!
