Exactly, fr0d0, and I would take it one step further by responding to your sig. Christianity is far from perfect, even Paul foresaw to the extent that would be true. (2 Timothy 4:3-4) The demons know and yet are fearful, they don't have any doubt of God, don't worship him but don't misinterpret his word as well. Someone can be a believer and yet hate and reject God. Are they still religious? Others can have absolutely no idea of who or what God is yet go to church and profess belief.
I know that, and I never denied it.
Not just atheist. Atheist, capitilized indicating religious. I have no doubt that many theists have thrown the charge of religion back at you and you have denied it as well.
Which one? Religion or Atheist? I don't care for either one.
