[Serious] Questions about Belief and Personal Identity

[Angrboda]

A related question which came up recently is what do we want to achieve or say in how we speak about our own identity. It's more an affectation than anything, but I've taken to describing myself as religiously unaffiliated rather than atheist. Others want their atheism to be front and center. And the reasons pro and con, as well as whether and when, get rather complex. I suffered mental illness for many years, and back when I considered working, one of the hot questions was what do I disclose about my illness to a potential employer? It's not irrelevant, but at the same time, it could prejudice the interviewer. Labels and identity are tricky.
