Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone.
Mike182, glad to see another religious studies student! My concentration as of now is Asian religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism mostly). As well as this though I have a deep interest in the dialogue between both the many faiths and believers and non-believers. I gather than all the faiths of the world, or lack thereof, can learn so much from each other in the form of human understanding, the understanding of our universe, and the rich cultures that form the base of active religiosity and atheism. I hope you stick with the degree my friend; there is much to learn!
Michel, heyas! My understanding of the term "namaste" is pretty standard. It means "the inner spirit in me greets and respects the inner spirit in you." And yes, this could seem rather strange coming from an atheist! However I enjoy it because it is a wonderful way to express a greeting in a humble, amicable, and respectful manner.
Again, thanks for the warm welcome and see you on the boards!

Namaste Namaste. Hey is there an echo in here?
Welcome to RF. I love your user name. I think if we all live by the meaning of Namaste, there will be no hatred, racism etc. because we will realize that we are all equal.
So very, very true
