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.)

The type that doesn't believe in god.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I kind of breezed through that but none of them sounded like me.

Ad Hominem attacks are a strong indication that one is losing the argument. Oh yeah, atheists are ignorant because they don't believe in a god according to some religion's twisted logic that only members of that church can understand.

However you choose to categorize it is up to you. Me, I consider myself an atheist until someone can provide me with sufficient evidence to prove to me that God or a god exists.

There's a part of me that wished God was real and existed, but I can't force myself to believe something that I simply don't believe.

Do not forget, roughly 73.6% of statistics are made up.
