I just signed up a few minutes ago.  Despite living in a fairly progressive state like NJ, I still run into overly religious people all the time.  I just thought it would be good to chat with people with like minded views.

I can understand taking such a militant stance.
Most people here are a bit soft and will encourage dialogue before starting up the RUV.  ;)
Welcome

Welcome
Do you get more points if you run into a an overly religious person than an agnostic, because they are rare (as in not many of them as opposed to only half cooked) or do you get less points for the agnostic because they couldn't decide which way to run? These are the sort of deep questions we ponder here!
