I like how National Geographic put it here.

Of course the subtitle is perfect for this kind of thing:
"As secularism grows, atheists and agnostics are trying to expand and diversify their ranks."
Apparently you are now to be known as "Nones" (Not nuns)
"The religiously unaffiliated, called "nones," are growing significantly. They’re the second largest religious group in North America and most of Europe. In the United States, nones make up almost a quarter of the population. In the past decade, U.S. nones have overtaken Catholics, mainline protestants, and all followers of non-Christian faiths."
Everyone noticed that you actually refuted NOT ONE of carrier's points, and are incapable of discussing what exactly is wrong with any these things you impotently GENERALIZE about. LOL
No one "cherry picked a definition". ALL of them do not apply. Please learn what "cherry-picking" actually means.
You continue to make the fundamental error that other people (including you) get to tell others how they think.
Congratulations on your mind-reading ability, Madame Zelda. You charge for sessions with your crystal ball ?
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
