What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  To encourage as many people as possible to stop accepting things on faith, to question everything. Liberating oneself from the shackles of faith is an enlightening experience, one that cannot be explained, only felt.
What do you like about this subject?  I think it's important to go through life without blindly accepting something without evidence to support it. I think we are stronger people without relying on the crutch of faith.
