I am a retired business owner, having been in the medical staffing business for over 25 years. I was born in Brooklyn N.Y. into an Italian Roman Catholic family where I attended St Rita's school just a few blocks from our house. I became interested in pursuing answers to my religious and theological concerns that I did not find in Catholicism. I began studying the Bible myself to look for answers I thought would be in scripture and came away empty. What I learned ABOUT the Bible was worse than what I learned IN the Bible and, as a result, I became an atheist! Now, with a felon in the Oval Office and the Christian Right "in power", with Red States violating the separation between Church and State, I feel compelled to add to the fight against the imposition of religious "values" into our society at large and the potential influence of religious fanaticism into our government.
