Is is possible to live outside of religion. Catholics proved it, they are leaving an archaic unbending institution in droves with no ill side-effects whatsoever. Try it, see how it works for you. You can always go back.
I really do not give 2 cents thought about how they feel nowadays. 99.9 percent of the muslims in the world are peace loving people. If they want to hate us for the works of the few we can start the hating game for the works of their governement. The problem is I don't live to hate.
