Religion? No thank you.

In recent years, I've always answers relating to my religious beliefs completely unabashedly: I am atheist. For the most part, I'm proud to say it, though occasionally it's a little awkward since I'm at a Catholic school. But now that I'm reapplying to that school, I chose to play the game and answer "Catholic". To be honest, I feel a little disgusted with myself. I struggle a lot with the ethics of lying. I don't know if there's a single person in my life I've never lied to, and I don't know if there's a problem with that. When it's important, I usually tell the truth. In fact, I pride myself on being straight with people a great deal. But when it's a bullshit question like this, why bother giving it any serious thought? The real problem with all of this is that it's based in the fact that most people don't want to hear the truth; they want to hear what they think the truth should be.
