I wish there were better words than "atheist" or "agnostic", since both of these carry lots of connotations that don't apply to me. What's the word for "I've never been given any reason to even consider it" or "it really doesn't make any sense to me"?

I suppose I would consider myself an atheist if I could get away from the "atheism is a belief" bullshit. The fact is that I pay more attention to my little toe than I do to my lack of belief in god, in that I wash and clothe my toes.

I do think it's odd for Christians in the USA to complain about being discriminated against or insulted. This country, and its laws, are overwhelmingly slanted toward Christianity. As a non-Christian, I have often felt strong prejudice against me. I gave up any hopes of a political career long ago -- no non-religious person will be elected to high office any time soon. That IS political discrimination, and one that is supported by many otherwise "good" Christians.

I like my Christian friends, all of whom are good, moral, honest people. I do think they are irrational to some degree, in that they are willing to believe something for which there is no evidence. But I suppose most of us have our own irrational quirks . . .
