Hi, Cash, and welcome to the website,

Religious people think they are getting heavenly points from god when they try to force others to follow their religious beliefs. They think they are acting the way gods wants them to act.

This website has a bit of a learning curve so here is some information that might be helpful.

You earn website points, and help other members get to know you better, when you write an informational profile that includes your hobbies and interests, and answer all the profile questions, since that's the first place many people look when they see a new member.

Also, the website uses your profile to find member matches, so the more details you include, the better the match.

Then you make comments and write your own posts to earn more points and privileges; for instance, at level two you can private email people. You get different perks with each level, and when you reach level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

To find members near you, click on the "Meet" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Or click on the "About" button at the top of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.

Levels are mostly a way to help identify and reward those who contribute to the growth of the community. The website also gives more access and benefits depending on level.[agnostic.com]

Have fun!

Someone who is a zealot believes that what THEY believe is better than what anyone else believes. Therefore, they think they are entitled to tell everyone else how to live. Also, many religious people are brainwashed by their religious leaders into believing that they must SUPPORT their churches' teachings (e.g., "christian" groups that are anti-choice). Therefore there is little if any reason for them to look inwardly to assess whether they are actually living according to the principles of their religion.

Remember people only have as much power over you as you give them. I do admit their attempts at control get annoying.
