I'm an athiest, so I agree with most of what you were saying, but to then turn around and say you're a Taoist and therefor completely different? Nah, it doesn't work that way. Tao has it's own belief system, it's own symbols, it's own set of spiritual guidelines, it's own famous teachers, just like any other organized religion. To say that ALL religion is wack EXCEPT for the one that you believe in is weak.
