Ergo; *NOT* a religious position.
Thank you and goodnight... at least until you decide you can see my post despite having blocked me, again. :-)
Doesn't this turn on what 'a religious position' amounts to? Someone who says, "I'm undecided about this political issue" might be said to have a political position on the issue--'undecided'. Whether you decide to call it a 'position' or a 'lack of a position' seems pretty arbitrary; a pollster seeking information on the positions people have on the issue would probably not ignore the 'undecideds'.
It's like asking, "Is there an empty set?" Well, some people think that a set has to contain something in order to be a set--that is, a set is defined by its elements. Whether you choose to include the empty set as a set is entirely arbitrary.
