Atheism is very convenient for many reasons:
1. No church. (duh)
2. Great conversation starter i.e. ".....unless you have church that day." "Nope, I'm an atheist." "Wow! Really?" "Yeah, is that a big deal or something?" "No, I've just never met one........."
3. No tacky religious plaques or stuff like that in your house.
4. Whenever you say "God!", it's now simply another curse word for you.
5. You have a decent reason to interrupt anyone talking religiously.
6. (personal favorite mrgreen ) You get to punch people for making fun of you (no divine power to tell you not to)

Now, before you post a snarky comment, I have nothing against any religion at all, but my mind is too thoughtful to allow ideas of any higher power take over (that reason coupled up with laziness). If you practice a religion you are very proud of, good for you, but if you try to push it on me, then prepare for a sharp pain in the vicinity of your head, m'kay?
