I am an Atheist...

Evidence and Reason go a long way with me. As does virtue. Regardless of the motivation, I have great respect for those who devote some, most or all of their lives to helping out those in need.

Bringing this back to music, there I times I feel like a hypocrite performing gospel songs, and seeing how much some in my audiences seem to be moved by them.

In the end, I perform them respectfully, and plan on doing so for the duration of my performing days. I've been told I perform these songs as if I believed as a believer would, and I guess that's ok with me.

I don't advertise my beliefs, nor am I hired because of them.
