Atheist. (Jewish/Presbyterian religious heritage, largely Jewish and Quaker religious exposure, Episcopalian choir experience, affection for Indian religions. But still very committed to and contented with atheism.) ---

Hey, Wiccan here! I’m from the Oak, Ash and Thorn Tradition in Nashville, TN. The boyfriend, Searles, is Asatruar and we’re both looking into Celtic Reconstructionism. Good enough for you? 😛 ---

I call myself an **atheist** because “agnostic” sounds too wishy-washy. 🙂 As any good logical thinker would, however, I’m open to any evidence that proves (a) god exists. Problem is, all I ever hear are the same, weak-willed, unsubstainable excuses; so I’m reduced to waiting for Jesus Christ to pop up on my front porch one morning for a chat over toast and juice. 🙂 ---

Pismonquism. It may be very similar to Deism, but I’d have to read up more on Deism to be sure. ---

Soft-atheist / cultural christian. For the purpose of a count, I wish to be counted as “non-christian.” NOT that I’m hoping to see Phil lose. ---

Pragmatic deist. (These polls have a real self-selection bias, by the way; while I don’t know a better way to do it, I’d hardly take the results as reflective of active SDMB posters as a whole–which was the terms of the bet on the other thread, right?) ---

The fundamentalists still flock around, but they know they have an uphill battle on their hands. 🙂 ---

I only believe in one fewer god than DITWD. Buddhist + neo-Pagan - the supernatural parts = City Gent Phil: It doesn’t look like the bet is going your way. In the name of all that is sacred, don’t eat the hamburgers!! Or if you feel you must, eat them in little bits over several hours. As a lapsed vegetarian, trust me on this one. ---
