To everyone, believers in God; those who don’t believe in God; those who believe in God not like yours, mine or ours: and agnostics, among others, of course it is completely valid and expected to have your own beliefs and perspectives and thoughts about pretty much anything theological, spiritual, religious or philosophical. Diversity in thought and belief is healthy for our society, I think so, anyway. It is important to understand other viewpoints and perspectives to understand our own. It helps us understand what we think and why we think it. It helps us understand how we function together. While doing so it is important, I think, for all involved to continue seeking knowledge and understanding. Having personally explored a wide range of philosophical and spiritual perspectives and engaged in thoughtful discussions with others who have different contexts, thoughts and beliefs, and having done that both formally in an educational context and informally in community, I have found it helps me gain deeper insight into why people do and do not believe in God, various interpretations of faith and faith in what, and how there is still much all those people and I have in common as humans. Belief or disbelief in God can be a deeply personal journey for those given the opportunity to embark on that journey. Personally, I have always be grateful for the opportunity.
