Poll: What is your Specific Level of Atheism?

Except for some highly selected parts of their dogma (and some items they made up subsequent) that MUST be codified in secular law for EVERYONE to follow regardless. The 'diluted' version only applies to folks claiming to be part of the club and partaking of the shared ritual of donating money to keep the show running. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
A gorgeous one.
I'm not a fan of these options but for the sake of choosing one option I chose gnostic atheist. I am pretty convinced there is no god and I live my life as if there is no god because I find no logical reason to believe there is one. To take a page out of Dawkin's book, I am a gnostic atheist in the same way that I am a gnostic a-fairyist.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll  RE: Poll: What is your Specific Level of Atheism?

That's the thing, really. Your average agnostic atheist probably lives their life in exactly the same way as a gnostic one. You'd have to have very serious concerns about a specific kind of God being possibly real before it affected your behavior. Just thinking "there might be some sort of God" isn't enough to affect behavior, as far as I can see. What difference does it make, if you have no information about it?

Just thinking "there might be some sort of God" isn't enough to affect behavior, as far as I can see. What difference does it make, if you have no information about it? For sure. There's this weird pass that we give religion and/or god(s) where just because we cannot prove it is untrue, we have to consider ourselves agnostic atheists, when in reality most of us, or at least a lot of us, are probably gnostic atheists in the sense that, what difference does it really make?

I am extremely angry at there being no "nonbelieving turtle" option. Damn racists.
Noting in the poll really works for me. I voted "skeptic" because I'm an atheist for the same reason as I'm an a-unicornist. No evidence.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
