I like to respond with “normal”.

@jimdaughters "What do you feel about your own position concerning what you believe?"

I feel good.

I pondered our many labels recently as a board member of a powerful nonprofit in California dedicated to the rights of people with disabilities (which includes me, BTW). It concerned a mission statement containing a boilerplate statement about fighting discrimination and safeguarding rights “regardless of” a typical list of factors, such as ethnicity/race, economic status, etc., plus a well-intentioned reference to “religion/faith.” I objected, because it leaves a lot of us out, but had to think hard about what to add that covers communities as diverse as ours. I eventually settled on “irreligion” as a placeholder umbrella term, but am not sure I’m completely satisfied.

As for myself, I like the term “free thinker,” as it leaves room for change and nuance.

After abandoning belief in a deity, I clung to hope for the future of humanity. Humanity's current direction has destroyed that hope. I suppose one could call me a "disillusioned humanist".

It is tricky, and labels can most surely be divisive. When a conversation cannot be rerouted, I like to stay with "your beliefs are different than mine, and I certainly respect them" or something similar. Confrontation is never productive.

labels only help other people to decide where to pigeon hole you in their minds and estimation....I don't like them myself.

I'm a Godless Gnostic Apatheist.

Are you convinced that an actual deity really exists?
Those who answer “no” will be correctly classified, as Atheist.
It really is that simple.

I don’t pick one either, but my list of acceptable labels is long. agnostic, atheist, skeptic, freethinker, humanist, Buddhist, Taoist, pastafarian, non theistic satanist, and dudist all describe me. If I’ve gotta rip the bandaid off and let a religious person know I’m not a believer I’ll prob say I’m an atheist. If I really want my space I’ll say I’m a satanist.
