		<description><![CDATA[Dear Charles, I am a recent convert to atheism.  All of my close family members are extremely devout Christians.  I still love them and maintain varying degrees of closeness with many of them in spite of our new philosophical differences.  That being said, my family knows that I no longer believe.  One family member in particular insists on wearing &#8216;Jesus t-shirts&#8217; whenever I am around.  It is always the same Jesus t-shirt and it has a vivid patriotic theme to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Charles,   Is it possible to be an atheist and still believe in the afterlife? I was raised by atheist parents so I never really believed in God, although I would question it from time to time. I recently started believing in an afterlife though. I've been exposed to psychics that communicate with the dead and they are so convincing. I've also heard stories from people that have gotten signs or messages from their dead loved ones. I realize [...]]]></description>
