The essence of atheism is not believing in gods...but, yeah, it's likely that this meant/means something different where I came from and live than where you came from and are. Though, understanding that you flatly -are- an agnostic atheist and yet you find occasion to reject that accurate categorization suggests that it might actually be more "x" in your mind than mine. It doesn't take a superslueth to see that you're rejecting cultural baggage. The baggage likely meant more where I'm from but I've always been kindof long hair don't care about it all.
The irony of watching someone from canadia hedge their bets as a neck from the southern american swamp is something that anyone can appreciate. Mind, I'm not commenting on the validity of it, only the spectacle.
