Accepting/Rejecting "Atheism" as a label.

[KichigaiNeko]

I don't understand why people are so afraid of labels.. I don't mind labeling myself atheist ('lack of belief in any gods'), because if I didn't, someone else might do it for me.

I am thinking that "labels" like xtianity are just sooooooooooooooo limiting.....

Happy to put my hand up for the "total lack of belief in god/s" but then that does NOT define who I am or what I desire or hope for as a human. The clingy belief of the religious demeans humanity and boxes people into a narrow paradigm which i am thinkign is unfair and inaccurate. And as such I regard religiosity as childish / infantile.


meh my 2 cents worth
