Have you had dreams about non-belief?

[LeftishBrit]

6. Not in the last few decades; but when I was about 10 or 11, I had been exposed to the idea of hell..

Not from my family (mostly atheists; and most who weren't were Jews, who aren't usually preoccupied with the afterlife); and not from school, where we did have daily Prayers, but no hellfire preaching; but from some of my reading.

I still remember dreaming that I was reading one of the volumes of 'Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories' - certainly one of my sources of fundie religion, and scary cautionary tales, but not, I think, of Hellfire - and that one of the stories was about a boy who didn't believe in God, so when he died, he went to Hell and the Devil put him into the fire. The story, in my dream, concluded: 'We must all be sorry for him. He came from a good home in a good neighbourhood.'

But no, not since then, unless you count the time when religious right-wingers contributed to the defeat of my MP, and I had a dream that the election in my constituency had been hijacked by the thieves who had stolen my handbag in Amsterdam the previous year! Not sure that I wouldn't PREFER the Dutch handbag thieves to the likes of Christian Concern for Our Nation.
