You know most of the world around you does and you have to answer that question honestly knowing that its not the answer the examiner wants to hear, thus you know it is the wrong answer in effect for the situation in society. It is a very stressful situation and the machine will simply register that stress. That in absolutly no way means it is a lie. I can honestly confirm my athiest beliefs are strong, I have considered God but firmly and strongly believe religion is not for me. I am proud to seperate myself from it in fact.

True, but it does mean they might be giving a "deceptive" answer.

Whether true or not, I think that story about the polygraph is pretty interesting. I'd like to see how I fair on it, because I have put a lot of thought into my beliefs. I've thought a lot about if there could be a god out there, but I simply don't feel that there is one after compiling all my ideas and thoughts. Every time I think of a reason that god may exist, an opposite thought nullifies it. And about the religion causing more harm than good, I do agree with you (Jimi) that there are some crazies that will be taking lives no matter what is involved, but like ButterMup said, I think that religion is definitely just another (big) tool of segregation between people. And we all know what one of the manifestations of segregation is...hate.

Whooh there. I have a little problem with you equation: Religion = segregation = hate.

I believe if you are a Christian you have to follow Christ’s teaching, right? Jesus hated no one, even when they nailed him to the cross. He taught “turn the other cheek” and “love thy enemies.” There are no teachings in the Christianity that I know that tell you if someone doesn’t believe like you do then they should be separated or segregated. That’s not to say some people don’t end up there, or that some “Christian faiths” push that doctrine. However to paint all religion (Christian or not) with the broad brush that says: “Be like us, or we hate you” is unfair and wildly inaccurate.
