As a lifelong atheist, I don't care what people think about my lack of belief. If someone judges me, that's their problem.

I chose rational thought, not magical beliefs.

Branding is of no concern to me as I don't see this as an organized movement. This is more of a realization of what is. The last thing I want to do is join another organization that tells me what I must/should believe. I believe what I believe and don't really care what you believe unless you try to convert me to your way of thinking. I think if you have to have a brand, mine is leave my fucking beliefs alone and I'll leave your fucking beliefs alone.

Whose movement? What movement? I just don't believe any gods exist. I'm not moving anyone, anything, or anywhere. I'm an atheist, nothing more, nothing less. No branding required. Interpretations from others say more about the person judging than the one being examined.

Just as a point of fact, atheism is NOT a "movement".
It is simply a state of being.

IamWhat IamRegardless of the branding

Offer free barbecued babies at all events! Nom nom

"HOW CAN WE PUT A MORE POSITIVE SPIN ON OUR BRANDING?"

Spin is what the others do. The theists, etcetera. I am on this site because I don't conform to irrational thinking, like a belief in some magician who solves all believers' problems for them.

I don't feel a need to be branded. I am not a free range cow.

I do not feel the need to change my branding, or even concern myself with this at all.

I wasn't aware of being part of a "movement". This would be a proactive effort to convince, or dare I say, convert others.
If asked I will define my belief as agnostic. If pressed I will define agnostic. But then I let it go. I basically say that there is little point of attempting to convince me to belief or non-belief.
It just doesn't matter to me. So many more important things for my attention.

Embrace it! Remember “Queers?” Now they’ve their own ‘Q!’ ‘Atheist’ has been demonized for decades. But, it stands. It’s what the best of us are.

This debate’s gone on for some time… even among ardent Atheists. Wimping out or backing down only encourages those having looked to denounce us. They’d win. If, in our ever-increasingly vulgar society, they can’t take or respect us - fuck them. We are Atheists ~

I’m an atheist. You be what you want.

I would say SKEPTIC, because I'm a scientist, and real scientists by trade are skeptical. The problem lies in the fact that I'm not skeptical about my atheism. Lol

Humanist works for me. But I consider that a separate thing from being an atheist.

Humanist? Nope... Are you trying to convert us lol

Hail Satan

AGNOSTIC - They THINK it is a weak position until they run in to a tornado like me who demands that they prove what they say, then it is THEM that appear weak. Agnosticism requires courage to face truth even when it is not beautiful, something that they have mountains of difficulties with. Truth does not emanate from authority, it comes from a disciplined mind, and, is not found in some quick, easy "revelation" as religion would have one believe. Religion claims it is a difficult path . . . . but it is nothing but lassitude when compared to the work required to understand things like philosophy, science, mathematics (mathematics is one of the scariest things for most of these people . . . . facing it is an anathema to most of them). People of science should face the truth that they have done a piss poor job of selling it, and religion has for a long time outstripped it . . . . to many non-believers sitting on the sideline.

I prefer "Baby eater".

Honestly I really dgaf about a label or branding. I am more apt to value another on their merits as a human being regardless of their political, or belief affiliation.
JMHO

I prefer to remain unbranded.

who's our?

Beyond agreeing on not believing, what do you share with the other groups?

I use Ignostic, because it is a better definition for how I think.

I am an Ignostic

I was raised a believer
AS a believer I thought understanding God of the utmost import.
SO I studied that.
Which is why I am today an Igtheist/Ignostic

Ignosticism is an Epistomologic position; it is a set of ideas refuting the importance of determining the existence of God. It claims that knowledge regarding the reality of God is altogether unprofitable.

It is the idea that every theological position assumes too much about the concept of God and other theological concepts; including (but not limited to) concepts of faith, spirituality, heaven, hell, afterlife, damnation, salvation, sin and the soul.

IF you cannot even define what you are talking about, or consider it beyond human understanding, how is it you can claim to know anything about it and keep your intellectual integrity intact?

Ignosticism or igtheism is the idea that the question of the existence of God is meaningless because the term god has no coherent and unambiguous definition.

I'd like to opt out of your branding movement. I think I speak for many when I say I really don't care what other people think. I am absolutely okay being misunderstood by those who aren't interested in learning these things on their own accord.

Because Atheism isn't a business... No branding.

I, for one, subscribe to no brand. I only hope that my deeds and manners allow others to assume I am one of theirs. For in being nobody's, I am everybody's.

I like the term Secular Humanist.

"Secular humanism is a philosophy or life stance that embraces human reason, secular ethics, and philosophical naturalism while specifically rejecting religious dogma, supernaturalism, and superstition as the basis of morality and decision making."
