What do you call a non follower of neither atheism or theism

RE: What do you call a non follower of neither atheism or theism
Quote:What would beings from another planet label "rocks" as, and would they have identical aggregate compositions to rocks found on Earth? If not, then we (Humans on Earth) may not agree that they are indeed "rocks" simply because they don't agree with our Earthly aggregate compositions.

If an alien comes along and quizzes you about rocks, get back to me.

Quote:My point is, if I say I'm male, you'll assign what you know as "male" to me. If I omit my gender, you're left to define me by my actions/words/properties, and not as my "gender" or your chosen label for me would prescribe or dictate.

You miss the point entirely. This isn't about subjective definitions or what I surmise about you via your actions, or even about labels.etc. It is about objective definitions and the exclusivity of some sets.

The question in the OP is unanswerable as written. What is not a theist is an atheist, there's no middle ground to be had. What doesn't fit the definition of a rock may be safely classed as 'not a rock'.
