Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) He atheist ahau -- he pango hoki ahau. Ae, kei te noho mātou -- ahakoa he tokomaha i roto i te pāpāho i ētahi wā e kore e mōhio ki a mātou. Hei tauira, i roto i tētahi whakaaturanga motuhake a CNN i tukuna i te Rāhoroi, kāore i rite te whakaatu o te iwi tae ki te kanohi e mōhiotia ana o te kore whakapono o Amerika: e mōhio ana koe, ko ngā tāne mā. Inaa hoki, ko nga atheist o Awherika-Amerika e tohu ana i tetahi waahanga iti tonu - ahakoa e tipu haere ana - o nga atheists o Amerika i te nuinga. Ko te tikanga o tēnei, kāore ngā tāngata pango me ētahi atu iti iho i te nuinga o te wā e hīkoi atu ki te kore whakapono, kei reira rānei ētahi atu take e huna ana i a tātou? He pono kino kei konei. Ko te nuinga o nga pango e kiia ana he karakia. Ko te whakapono ki te Atua he mea whakapehapeha, a he mea honohono te hahi ki te tikanga, ki te hitori me te ahurea. Ehara i te mea ohorere te whakaaro he wahine pango ahau e haere ana ki ngā ratonga. Ko te pātai i te nuinga o te wā ehara i te mea ka haere au ki te hahi, engari kei hea. Ahakoa kāore te tangata e haere ki te hahi, he pono kei a ia tonu te whakapono - nā te mea he nui ngā mea i whakamanawanui, i wikitōria e ō tātou iwi, nā te mea ko te atua tērā i mahi. Na tenei katoa i uaua ai te whakaaro o te tokomaha ki nga kupu " pango " me te " atheist " i roto i te rerenga kotahi. He tino uaua ki te matapaki i te whakapono i roto i te hapori pango. He tokomaha i whai pānga pāpori, ā-hinengaro, ā-pūtea hoki ki tēnei whare, nō reira ki te kī tētahi he ruarua ōna whakaaro, he rite tonu ki te mahi i te tinihanga. Ko te whakamōhio tuwhera i a koe he tangata kāore i te whakapono i waenganui i te mana nui o te hāhi, he mea kāore e taea, me te waimarie ki te kimi i ētahi atu tāngata pango kāore hoki e whakapono. He mea tino nui kia mōhio, heoi anō, kua māmā ake i te Ipurangi te kimi tahi a ngā tāngata pango kore whakapono, ā, he hapori nui o mātou kei te ipurangi. Ahakoa i whakaarahia ahau ki te ao - he mea onge i roto i taku hapori - i whakamanahia ahau e te whanau me nga hoa na te mea i whakaatuhia e au he tangata whakapono kore. Heoi anō, e kore rawa taku haerenga e kino. I te whakatū i tōku whakahaere, Black Nonbelievers, i te tau 2011, i waimarie ahau ki te whakapā atu ki ētahi atu i whakaarahia ki te ao pērā i a au, i whakaarahia rānei ki te tino...
Ko nga atheists o Awherika-Amerika he iti engari kei te tipu haere te waahanga o nga atheists o Amerika i te nuinga. Ko te nuinga o nga pango, ahakoa, e tohu ana he whakapono, a, he honohono te hahi ki te tikanga, te hitori me te ahurea.
