The debate between atheism and religion is one in which I usually enjoy taking part, and I like that it pops up on Disinfo with a certain regularity.

I believe so, and I think I’ve got the way to do it. Well, the problem is person x may believe that everyone needs to believe as they do, or that the laws of the land need to reflect person x’s religious beliefs because they are the basis for all morality. So now that we agree the discussion is inevitable, how can we go about it properly? 1. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. 2. This is a difficult question to answer.
