[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For atheists, maybe if the question is "what religion are you?"  the answer is "none"  _ I don't have a religion.  I don't believe in god"[/quote]

Why would I use 11 words when I can say the same thing with 1? That's like using the dictionary definition of a word rather than the word itself. That seems silly.

only if you want to make an effort to help people understand what an atheist is.  i.e., that's it's not a person who is anti-religion or a person who thinks religious people are stupid, or a person who thinks they have all the answers.  It's just a person who does not believe in god.   I guess I'd add "I'm an atheist" to the end of the quote above to make it perfectly clear.  And you're right -- it's like a dictionary definition. It's purpose is to explain, not just to make a statement.[/quote]

It's not my  job to educate people.  If they want to know what an atheist is, they can figure it out for themselves. [/quote]
