@Mellowgirl My apologies I had to go to work when you posted a reply.
I put the thread where I rambled about being an atheist at the end of this post. However to abbreviate it it was a move from a faith based perception of reality to an evidence based perception of reality.
i also baffled when someone says they are spiritual but not religious. Even if that person has a 1x1 relationship with their God they base that peception of what that diety is based on an established faith.
For instance if they decide God is not anthropomorphic entity there are religions that person can and will lean on a religous idea that present the Universe as God or some other celestial idea.
In addition I think people will get upset on threads like this no matter how benign or netural you make it because their system of beliefs is emotion based and any questions asked about it automatically trigger an emotional reaction in them even if their a pacifists on their keyboard. For the record the word choice you was really non confrontationbut but the topic by contrast has an innate confrontational aspect to it.
