10. "Atheist? Heavens no, I just don't believe in God."

I've noticed that. Technically speaking these people should be called atheist (not even agnostic), but they don't identify as atheist. Perhaps they appreciate that being as openly atheist as many people are openly religious isn't a bag of laughs. Perhaps that's why LGBT people are more inclined to reject outright atheism; they have enough hassle from society related to their sexual orientation.
