I'm wondering how common it is for atheists to feel that some things are sacred. Obviously I don't mean in the primary ways the word is used. When I googled it, it would be third usage mentioned "regarded with great respect and reverence by a particular religion, group, or individual." So I'm wondering if, for those who identify as atheists, there is anything you as an atheist regard with great respect and reverence, either as an individual or a member of a group you identify with. For the theists, do you experience anything of the sort we might site as sacred to you as well, or do you reserve that for God/religion?
Oh what the hell, I'll make a poll for this.
Sacred defined.
Oh what the hell, I'll make a poll for this. I mean, everyone loves a poll, right?
The question: is anything sacred to you?
The options will be:
1) I'm a nonbeliever and of course nothing is sacred to me.
2) I'm a nonbeliever and of course some things are sacred to me.
3) I'm a nonbeliever and I have an issue with the question.
4) I'm a believer and only God is really sacred for me.
5) I'm a believer and many things are sacred for me, God included naturally.
6) I'm a believer and I have an issue with the question.
