I'm a Christian, but I don't consider myself religious because that implies a man-made institution set on controlling people and keeping them stupid. I'm also fairly well-educated on many scientific topics and do not immediately discredit science as "HERESY!" If a scientific theory conflicts with my beliefs in a way that cannot be resolved, I merely respectfully disagree with it. I don't call the person who took the time out of their life to study, analyze, and formulate that theory a blasphemer, but I respectfully disagree with them and go on with my life. Example: I believe in intelligent design, but respect other peoples' right to believe evolution, creationism, or the belief that all life is some form of pasta (I'm looking at YOU pastafarians!) I don't Bible-thump those people, I just respectfully disagree. Also, I used to be an Atheist. Careful examination of the Universe and all it's grand complexities guided me to the belief that everything is just too darn complicated to have gotten there by accident. Also, I agree with K^2's post entirely.
