Not Believing in God, but Not Liking the Atheist Label


That, to me, is how I interpret the message within the image above. Whilst it's technically true that atheism is nothing more than a denial of God, in real life it always entails much more than just this simple dictionary definition of the term. Is it nothing more than a mere coincidence that most atheists (note: [b]most[/b], not all) also support far-Left social causes like feminism and abortion? Is it merely coincidental that they also tend to believe our reality has no ultimate meaning, and that morality is relative and subjective?

Nope.

I am uncertain whether or not God exists. That makes me neither an atheist nor a believer. That makes me an [b][i]agnostic.[/i][/b] For me the existence of God or gods is an open question.

I often find that religious people try to pigeonhole me as an atheist. In their eyes there are only two possible positions. That is the fallacy of the excluded middle, AKA false dichotomy.
