Wouldn't that fall under Atheist, or do you believe in God but have no religious association.

No it would fall under agnostic. Atheists firmly believe -they know that they know that they know- that there cannot possibly be a supreme being.

Technically "atheism" translates to "without belief in God." It doesn't necessarily indicate an active disbelief in God, as the "a-" prefix is "without" and "theism" is "belief in God," but whatever.

Technically a mother who isn't a 'pedophile' would be abhorred, as what kind of mother doesn't love thier child?

The common man makes the definition, not the scholar.

Guess I wouldn't want to be either an atheist or a pedophile, just making an observation. But yeah, that was a humorous analogy.

I voted Christian, you don't have born-again or evangelical. But that's cool, I understand it would be impossible to break it down to so fine a level. :thumbsup:
