1. "I don't believe in anything supernatural"
That's often how I say it to people.

2. I'm actually very superstitious.
But at least I recognize it's mere superstition. ;)

4. Isn't That Maddening? I "Lack" Absolutely Nothing.

5. It's very frustrating
I think we are the only people who have to identify ourselves by what we are not.

non-believers
not religious
non-christian
faithless
(a)theist
(a)gnostic
un-churched
etc, etc

6. I often respond in a similar way when confronted with "You dont BELIEVE...
in God?" I always tell them that "Belief" has NOTHING to do with my point of view. I KNOW god is a mythical construct. It isnt that i lack a damned thing, i just happen to know the xtian god is no more real than the gods of the Greek and Roman pantheons, unicorns, Leprechauns and Santa.

Of course, St. Nicholas WAS a real person (He attended the Council of Nicea) so there is more evidence for the existance of Santa Claus than there is for Jesus of Nazareth
