The Editor, Re: "Don't forget your faith," Letters, July 5. In Pat Macken's, "Don't forget your faith," her generalized statement, "Many populations have walked away from God throughout history, and we in Canada are repeating this mistake" forgets many - we - Canadians and others, in the past and present, that live and have lived fulfilling and meaningful lives such as veterans, scientists, and common folk, have contributed to the quality of life in Canada and abroad as a whole without the belief in a god or have, as she states, "walked away from god."
