@boagie,
In that case your not an atheist your a boagiest surely? All I am implying is that no matter what we believe it is a belief system like all religions.
'Why must a person be dragged into being termed an atheist' because they have/share/use the atheistic belief system.
'all the connotations the righteous tend to attribute to THE GODLESS' that's life I don't listen to idiots.
'What would we be just left alone' Depends on your belief system, if it's 100% original it is Boagieism, if it is based on a system of no God it is probably atheistic and so on.
'I myself do not have outrageous supernatural beliefs, I simply do not believe theirs' If it is part of your belief system to highlight and deny Christians you are anti-Christian, if you highlight and deny all religion your anti-religious.
I am stating nothing radical or of-the-wall, just that, no matter what you believe, you believe something and have a belief- if you high light and then deny belief altogether that is still a belief system (anti-believist), just one that dictates we should not believe.
