You are free to disbelieve, God’s no puppeteer

G Cunningham (Letters, Aug 3) proposed that to be religious is to have a virus. Is this the religion that abolished slavery; promotes justice and equality; cares for the sick, homeless and poor; encourages love, compassion, honesty, family values and community?

Is it also the religion that believes in good and evil, right and wrong? I’m glad to have that virus. Mr Cunningham seems annoyed that we can’t prove that God exists. If we could, we wouldn’t have faith, we would have certainty.

Nobody can disprove his existence. Some scientists and philosophers believe there is evidence of ‘His’ existence. Some were atheists and changed their minds.
