In Australia,atheism is not a big deal,except for the religious fanatics who insists on wearing their religion on their sleeves.Most sane people avoid them.
If asked I say "I'm an Agnostic atheist". If asked to explain I then say "I do not believe in god(s) due to the lack of credible evidence." I do not argue with apologists.
That's PERFECT! I'm going to use that in future. To me that clearly implies "don't fuck with me!"

Quote:A.N. Wilson makes clear in this gripping narrative that Christianity, without Paul, is quite literally nothing. Jesus, with the layers of scholarship stripped away, is a fervent Jew who will lead his followers into a stricter, purer observance of Judaism; it is Paul who will claim divinity for him, who will transform him into the Messiah, center of an entirely new religion...more
