I'm probably mostly just a non-theist. I don't really care what people believe in the privacy of their own homes so long as they aren't looking to legislate to make their conception of God's will the law of the land. I don't think theists are necessarily mentally hobbled or incapable of having an interesting opinion. Nor do I subscribe to any believe in progress which demands the clearing away of medieval mind sets of all kinds. I'm willing to grant that believing as they do serves some positive role in the lives of theists even if I'm not looking to join them. If religion -as the opiate of the masses- were a joint being passed around in my community, when it's handed to me I'm just going to pass it over to the next person who wants it without judgement. No need to kill their buzz.
Oh and if anyone wanted to attempt Ben Davis' idea of representing these categories with diagram of some kind, I would enjoy seeing it. Even a simple 1 through 6 list would help. (Too rushed and unmotivated to do it myself.)
