We shouldn't put ourselves into categories like atheists. I am just some one who does not believe in a god, just like I don't believe many things. If someone ever asks you if you believe in god, just say no. You don't have to announce to anyone that you are an atheist. Unless however your circumstances require it, but I don't know your circumstances.
Because I'm an atheist. I don't believe in god - which is what atheist means.
Yes, there are many things I don't believe in that I don't label myself with, but then, as I've previously stated, we don't have people trying to make us believe in those things.
Dying to live, living to die.
