Welcome to the forums Speakeasy! I love that joke, it is hilarious. I was a believer most of life and only the last few years solidly rejected the idea of God/god or gods.
Well if you are an agnostic atheist who simply rejects god then it is easy to avoid that burden, it is only when you make a positive claim that you shoulder any burden of proof.
Oops, burden shouldered.
Enjoy your time here it is a great place to hang out with cool mix of atheists and theists.
