List of people who have no interest in joining a religion, ever

I threw of shackles of indoctrination long ago and I have no interest in partaking in opiate of religion ever again.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Ultimately, the reason I don't follow any given religion has less to do with it's truth than my own principles. A "true religion" which does not include and adhere to those principles is thusly no candidate club for me regardless. If I wake up tomorrow and think that jesus really died on the cross as some sin atoning scheme, I'm just as uninterested as I was the day before. If there -is- some divine succession of kings, ala your beliefs, I still have no desire to be their subject. If it -really- took human sacrifices to keep the sun god happy, I'm afraid that I just couldn't be the guy that held the knife.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
I think it depends on the religion. Some would clearly not appeal even if they were true. Others might.

I heard that valkyries have beer flavored nipples.

I'm in. Religion is a sham. Why are god-botherers posting in here? The title is pretty clear on what is being asked.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
I'll pass on the religion thing.

Even if a religion was really nice and everything, the very idea of it seems weird to me: to be "in a religion". What does it even mean?
If religion has some truth and good ideas, I'll take those good ideas, and discard the rest, if any. I'll apply those ideas to my life. I wouldn't however feel the need to identify as someone who got some good information from there, and announce myself as such, any more than I'd join a formal group of people who all learned some morals from He-Man. It seems that religion virtually has to contain some sort of irrational, "supernatural" element, or else it wouldn't even be called one. It's just a bizarre concept to me. Feel free to send me a private message.
