What Is Worth Fighting For?
Genevieve Meacher, a woman of God. And an outspoken advocate for the rights of atheists, has given birth to a daughter. Meacher was religious for many years before becoming an atheist in her 30s. , her experience gives her unique insights into the experiences. And challenges that atheism poses for women.
When I wrote the book “Why I am an Atheist”. I interviewed over seventy women who had left or were leaving Religion. And found many common themes running through their stories. First was the sense of powerlessness. That came with theological convictions imposed on them from an early age. Many also felt they had no choice but to conform to orthodoxy or be ostracise by their family or community. Genevieve’s story reflects this theme: she felt trapped. And lacked self-confidence after she left Religion.
, Genevieve has been able to find solidarity amongst fellow atheists. And build a life full of meaning and purpose without the negative pressures of faith. She is passionate about campaigning for human rights, including freedom of expression. And belief, scientific literacy, reproductive choice. Disability equality, minority rights, anti-bullying initiatives and more. Her work as an activist gives her a sense of fulfilment that Religion could never have provided her.

Did they want to be associate with those who did not believe in Jesus Christ as their Messiah and Savior? Or did they want to follow Christianity’s unique teachings about. Who God is and what salvation consists of?
Besides, Paul wrote in Galatians 1:10-13 that Gentiles were welcome into the kingdom of God. Through faith in Jesus Christ, even though they were not descended from Abraham. This was different from how things done in Judaism at the time. Jews were must to obey all 613 Jewish. Commandments (including circumcision) to be save. Gentiles were not obligated to do anything except. Believe in Jesus Christ as their saviour.
These passages make one clear: If you want to be a Christian, then you must choose. You cannot be both a Christian and a Jew or a believer in Jesus Christ and
