A tyrant must put on the
appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of
illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing pious. On the
other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods
on his side.

Aristotle
Why would you follow something
that you know is wrong? Would you rather follow what is right for you, or would
you follow what people wants you do to? Are you in the right path or are you
blinded by what you supposed to believed in.
A man named “Jerry DeWitt”
wrote an article about himself being tormented by what he believed in “From
Bible-Belt Pastor to Atheist Leader” (http://old.richarddawkins.net/articles/646833-from-bible-belt-pastor-to-atheist-leader)
his article is solemnly about him becoming an atheist and how he fined himself
unable to comfort and help a woman named “Natosha Davis” a fellow preacher and
a friend being a priest and all, he find the courage to let his true emotion
and what he really wants to do to his life, in his article he said that he join
a online network named “the clergy project” this online network is created for
those clergies that no longer believe in god, through this maybe he can relate
to people like him that is telling themselves what are they doing, what are
their purpose in life.
“DeWitt” quickly repurposed
his preacher techniques, sharing his reverse-conversion story and his thoughts
on “the five stages of disbelief” making it uproar in “free thinker” gathering
around the bibles-belt, like Houston and Little Rock; he made a name for
himself, people quickly notice him and they begun to seek guidance from being
religious doubters from there with the help of “Dawkins” and “Hitchens” he made
progress in the atheist world even if he has a “dyslexia”, he prove that even
if his a atheist he can still help and make a difference.( http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/26/magazine/from-bible-belt-pastor-to-atheist-leader.html?pagewanted=5&_r=3&smid=go-share)
