How's about calling them people?

What do you call people who don't support a particular football team?

If religion has nothing to do with you in any sense, how can you be a, b or even c theist?

I'll tell you what you tell the child. You say that when you grow up, after careful consideration, you may decide to join a religion or you may not. If you decide to, you will be known as a Christian, Muslim, Rastafarian, Pastafarian or whatever. But if you don't join a religion, you aren't called anything from a religious perspective.

Kids deserve better than indoctrination, at any level.

Your definition is clumsy, regardless of source. I don't disbelieve in stamp collecting and I don't have a lack of belief in philatelists or their cause. It just isn't anything to do with me. Ditto religion.



Out of interest, are you carrying a cross for the worm or is he carrying yours? Has Keith found out which tree the cross is made from yet?
