The bad
Not all atheists are hostile to religion, but many do think that religion is bad. Here are some of their reasons:
• Religion gets people to believe something untrue.
• Religion makes people base the way they run their lives on a falsehood.
• Religion stops people thinking in a rational and objective way.
• Religion forces people to rely on outside authority, rather than becoming self-reliant.
• Religion imposes irrational rules of good and bad behaviour.

Dear Readers of the Youthspeak,
I find myself pleasure to serve this newsletter this month. I know you will find many differences this time; good or bad is under your judgment. First of all, excuse me for any grammatical mistakes because English is not my first language.
