Atheists Who Go to Church: Doing It for the Children

Given that you don't even know that I am not a Christian, your powers of intelligent discernment are to be seriously questioned.

To be fair, it remains kind of obscure what exactly your affiliation is.
 
I don't have one.
And apparently, I have less problem with that than some other people.
 
From some people's perspectives, certainly.
From some other people's perspectives, not.

I generally don't use such labels for myself.

Hmm.. see? Obscure ;)

What definition do you fit then? Agnostic atheist?

I understand, but you can still tell us what fits you best.
I mean, you know what you do and don't believe and you know what the various options and their definitions are.
Unless, of course, you prefer to keep it in the dark.

Just tell me one thing. Do you believe in something that could be understood as a god?
 
I really do think that the use of those labels is generally inadequate, and thus misleading and unnecessarily limiting.

I think that everyone, including myself, believes in something that could be understood as "god."
I think that everyone, including myself, believes that there is some entity or principle that is deemed, highest, best, worthiest (ie. "god").
For different people, these are different things, at different times - that entity or principle can be commonly named Jehowah, Allah, science, money, justice, love ...

What I deem highest, best, worthiest differs throughout time - sometimes, what I deem highest, best, worthiest is money, other times, justice, yet other times something else.
