I find it hard to adopt the label 'atheist', ...I think calling myself anti-theist, maybe more honest.
I'm not anti-god, I just believe there isn't one. As I said, for some people the 'god' construct helps them get through the day. I don't have a problem with that. Hence my choice of words. But if you prefer to think of yourself as anti-god, then fair enough, if that gets you through your day.
What 'knee-jerk anti-religiosity' are talking about ?
Nobody's in particular. Generally I don't try to convince the religious that they are wrong in their beliefs, but some people do, and we have had interminable discussions on these boards about that. I thought you were referring to some of those discussions, so wrote in that context.
Getting off-topic now, though, aren't we? Can we go back to Palin being a wingnut?
