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

You have to see how that feels like meaningless semantics to us[/quote]

It is meaningless semantics.  That's the whole point.  It's not sufficient for an atheist to simply say they don't believe in god or have no religion.  They have to attack religion.  That's what being an atheist is really all about.  It's not metaphysical, it's psychological and political.

Has an atheist ever answered that question by saying "I prefer not to discuss my personal beliefs" or "that's private"?[/quote]

Do you think it's a political position to declare yourself a Christian if asked about your religion? Or do you just say that its private?

In my mind when someone asks me what religion I am and I say atheist I'm saying I don't believe in god. That's it, that's what atheist means, nothing more nothing less.

You just made what appears to be about 4 very combative posts in a row being very rude to atheists. It would be refreshing of your theist pals called you out on that considering I have called my fellow atheists out on their rudeness. [/quote]
