I'm a Buddhist, and my religion not only emphasizes on performing good and meritorious deeds among others, but also in doing so maintain peace and harmony, both self and around us. Atheism isn't something to be proud of, because you dictate what is right and wrong according to your beliefs and thoughts. What you think is right may be the plague for those around you.
