When it comes to man made beliefs I think its fair to refer to myself as an atheist.

Maybe the questioner cares. If he didn't he probably wouldn't have asked.

why u gotta be so harsh!?

its a genuine poll and it peeked my curiousity so i submitted my answer

perhaps i care

the question is why did u care enough write that here?

me too

The term spiritual is one of the first religious words I started to distance myself from on my way to disbelief. I came to understand it as sort of a buzz word that only had meaning to the individual user. In the context I found myself in, religious folks typically only accepted the spiritually of others when they belonged to the same church. I once observed two guys having a conversation about their spiritual experiences and they were getting into it until one asked the other what church he belonged to, and suddenly, the temperature dropped between them.

I mean no disrespect to anyone, just relating my experience and perspective.

@RussRAB I don't belong to any church and I'm not religious. I'm not a hypocrite nor do I preach my beliefs to anyone.

@Wildflower - I don't doubt you at all. I wasn't attempting to disparage you or anyone else here even though I recognize my comment could be interpreted that way. I obviously didn't express that sentiment any too well, and I apologize for any offense I caused.

Define please. Seems counter intuitive.

@K9Kohle789
yes

Maybe that is why one of the choices is "other".

This is ridiculous...

"You people"? You do have the choice to answer or not.

@Wildflower Yes, but the question and definition goes on endlessly all the time. I refuse to classify myself the way others want me to. This gets redundant.

@DenoPenno then don't answer. Maybe others are new here. Not everyone is an old timer and knows everything.
