Hey; it might not work with you but it works on others. There is a huge wing in the Muslim world now -both Sunni and Shiite- that "never calls non-believers with what they are: non-believers" because they might "get them angry", or "fail to convert them".
So it might work on others.
If you call me a non-believer, or atheist, that is my position, so why would it offend me? If you say it like a slur, as some Christians do as well, sure, it offends me too. Not because I haven't heard ignorant theists try to make me look bad, but it offends me because their logic sucks.
I've been an atheist since 01. If I had a nickle for every theist, you pick the label, that looked at me like I was a piece of scum, I would make Bill Gates look like a street wino.
If a Christian or Muslim or Jew wants to call me a "Non believer" wants to call me that they can. But if they think it is a word to slur me, or if not that, a word to take "pity" on me, your right, neither will work, because to us, it isn't about anything but evidence.
I don't care if you call me an atheist or non believer. That is what I am. I do care if someone uses that word as if I should be ashamed of it. Or use it like I am a lost puppy for them to save.
