For the record, I do not subscribe to any religious or political doctrine. I do not know or can prove if God exists or not, and I have little interest in trying to answer that specific question.

'Atheism' appears to apply to anyone who doesn't subscribe to a particular religion (especially one of the desert dogmas). I'm not fond of the term 'Atheist' only because it allows the terminology to be on their terms not ours. People who are religious see those who do not share their faith or some other faith as 'Atheist' because theirs is the one true God so if you don't have their faith you must have no God, thus you are an Atheist. Of course, they don't appear to realise that they are 'atheist' when it comes to a multiple number of other Gods people believe in.

Then there are people who, like me, gauge their understanding of the world in which we live based upon what we can physically understand, and logically prove, while we are here together...
