If you’re going to call me an atheist, please don’t stop there:

Also call me an awitchist, avampirist, awerewolfist, and asantaist because I don’t believe in that bullshit either.

Or be accurate and say I’m not superstitious. Of course, that might mean acknowledging that you are.

@aral did someone try to offend you by calling you an atheist?

While you're on a roll, what about the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus?

@fitheach @aral Santa is there (asantaist), but the tooth fairy is indeed missing

Aha, missed that, as I didn't realise what a asantaist was. 😃

While I personally fully agree with your assessment, we should be looking a bit deeper than that - at least if we call ourselves rational.

Religion is a widespread phenomenon in all human cultures, all around the world. Countries which enforced state atheism eventually made full swing back into even more bizarre mix of esoteric beliefs.

There's much more to that in religion than simple "backwardness" (and I have no idea what to be honest).

I used to be an aflyingspaghettimonsterist, then I saw the light. I saw our creator, the great Flying Spaghetti Monster. Hail to the balls ! Ramen.

@aral If someone tells me to try religion for a few days, I want to reply back with "only if you try being an atheist"
