That's a bit like a drug addict saying, "Well, if you don't take heroin, what drugs do you take?"
You may have a habit but I'm clean....
I don't quite see the parallel. I wouldn't know what a drug addict would, or wouldn't say, or what they believe in either, because I don't know of any personally.
I'm not trying to be facetious here. I grew up in a southern baptist Christian household, and everyone that I know of, or come into contact with are, "believers." I don't consider myself a "Christian" though. The only thing I really know about athiests is that they don't believe in God, so I thought that although broad, it was a fairly easy question. Maybe I should've been a bit more specific.
