She has spoken of "faith" and " belief" only, which are by NO means the same thing.

If things are so obscure that they require belief and faith then the motives for that belief is just as religious as anything else - be it God, UFOs, Ley Lines, Ghosts, Folk Music, Pixies, Green Men, the Loch Ness Monster, the Glastonbury Zodiac, or Reincarnation. Each will have righteous / zealous adherents who are regarded as cranks by non-believers, just as believers regard non-believers with contempt and dismissal - muggles is the usual term these days (especially in Folk circles). To accept such things as Folklore - even the impluse to believe - is a start, I feel, to a more inclusive atheism.

Religion fascinates me in all sorts of ways, but I'm in no way religious. But then again, I've had a charmed life. Maybe things will change when Satan smites me with sore boils in some inverted-Job scenario in which God decides to put my Atheism to the test.
