I wasn't raised with any religion- rather just to respect all religions and keep an open mind that I may choose to join one of them when I grow up.

I am an atheist. I don't believe in any gods or supernatural events such as life after death.
I believe we all have the power within ourselves to dictate our lives.
I believe in the magic and power of nature- the mind blowing universe we live in, the phenomenon of evolution and the interconnectedness of life such as communities and eco-systems.

These beliefs stimulate my spirituality as I reflect on the beauty of a sunset, moss on a tree, the meaning of a spider in my life and the purpose of life in the here-and-now to be a good and respectful person to the world around me (which includes all living creatures). I am a vegetarian, take care of the environment and try to be a good, kind person. I find my knowledge and understanding of the wonder of our universe to be very empowering and inspiring.
