    I think we're in Narnia. Not too sure.
    I'm an Atheist, science for the win! (!)
    By the way, if I didn't mention the group you're affiliated with, you can just comment.

    I'm not affiliated with any group. I have no faith, but atheist isn't a group like religions are. We don't meet once a week to discuss how best to serve our lack of a deity or convert people. We just have nothing to say on the matter, much like people without diseases don't tend to meet to discuss that fact.

    I'm curious as to why you separated the numerous denominations of christianity, but left all the other religions intact.

    I was exactly thinking about the same thing.

    Hexagon, there are in fact atheist meetings, though they are not like religious meetings.

    While Hexagon poses an important question, there is one question that, trumps even that:


    How come none of the other choices, allow us to tip our fedoras?! LOL!


    But seriously, I'm an interesting breed. I follow a personalized mixture of Buddhism with Bushido, to keep it as simple as possible.

    I know, but those are the exceptions. Atheists just don't form a community in the same way as theists. That's alright, really. I'm not complaining. There are better things to bond over than what doesn't exist.

    You're right, those don't happen often. But there are large atheist community, especially secular humanist ones, and they often fight for equality/freedom from religion/secularity/you get the idea.

    Secular humanism isn't atheism. Yes, humanists are atheists, but they gather around a philosophy rather than atheism in particular.

    I would say agnostic. Sometimes I believe there's a God and sometimes I don't...I've just accepted the fact that I'll never really know

    I didn't mean to imply that secular humanism is atheism. I said that there are large atheist communities, especially secular humanistic ones. Perhaps I had to add "secular humanist atheist" communities. :slight_smile:

    I hope the OP realises that atheism is not a coherent group of any kind?

    Yes, but I'd already specified secular humanism, and I couldn't be bothered to write the word secular again.
