4. I'm unreligious.
I don't believe in God. I used to call that atheist, but that's such a broad term, and there are some who use it like a religion itself. They never miss a chance to post that God is make believe, or that religion is evil, or something that indicates they feel they are in competition with other people's beliefs. I used to feel that way, I guess.

But now I just see religion as a club I don't belong to. It's interesting, and it's such a strong part of so many people's lives that I study it, sort of. But I don't feel any part of it. I don't believe in any gods, and don't feel any doubt about that, but I don't get upset at others who do. I judge people individually, not by what group they belong to, and I blame people for their crimes or sins individually, without blaming the group. And I don't care what others believe, really. Belief in God, no belief in God... it's like watching a discussion I'm not a part of.
