I am not an illogical atheist, but rather a creator. I created Taco God. Taco God as I created is a person. Any person becomes a Taco God by eating 1 taco in their life. If any number of taco eaters get together the group could be labeled as one Taco God. So to say, 1000 scientist that each has already eaten a taco were to get together and create a space ship, it could be said, "Taco God created a space ship".

I really do exist, god is not my name, I have eaten a taco. Now, you no longer have to be atheist.

I was once a theist. I was a theist because I was lied to as a child by theist adults (all of whom should have known better). At age 30 I saw through lies of my chief tormentor, and I have become more condemnatory of god mobsters ever since.

Atheist No story just didn't make sense .

I consider myself a member of the atheist community.

I'm an atheist trans lesbian in recovery from addiction. I was raised Catholic; and I was mentally and emotionally abused by a former friend (read: fellow addict) who fancied himself a preacher. I can't even remember if I consented or not, I was too f****d up. I just know how I felt afterwards... like a used, dirty Kleenex. The date: September 11th, 2001. Yeah... THAT day. I was... 'experimenting'... because I thought that I might be gay. Turns out that I WAS gay, just not exactly how I thought I was.

Athiest here. No explanation needed.

I am an atheist. In my early 30's I decided to educate myself by reading the bible, Koran and the book of Mormon. By the time I got through Leviticus I changed to the Koran than to the book of Morman and learned that the people preaching had power because the people they were preaching to Were too lazy to actually read and learn for themselves so they are easily led and can be told anything and will believe anything as long as it includes how wonderful they are for suspending all rational thought. Much like those who watch Fox news so obediently to this very day

Uhm, pardon me for asking, but your profile comments show that you claim to be both Atheist, Agnostic and a Believer plus a few others as well, so how does this relate to your trying to get a head count?

I'm agnostic. After starting Philosophy classes in the 10th grade and having a teacher and colleagues that would encourage to defy and think. Then another Philosophy teacher when I had to repeat the discipline in the 11th grade released my mind even more. Now, I'm doubting most information that goes around and I can't differentiate which one is the right one... Lol!!!

I'm athiest, 100 per Cent. My story is too long to tell
I just don't believe in the various fiction of ancient and not so ancient people. It's ok for some but not for me.

I call myself an agnostic, apistivist atheist. Basically, I don't see any proof to support the god(s) hypothesis. Show me some clear cut, scientific proof and I won't need to believe in a god or gods. Belief is useless to me, go with the evidence.

Joined this community as agnostic, levelled up to atheist...

Atheist, always.

Three older sisters. Father atheist, mother 'relaxed' (non church-going) CofE. Both parents trusted their children enough to let them think for themselves.

Result:

ME - howling atheist and anti-theist.
OLDEST SISTER - devout christian, preaches in local churches.
MIDDLE SISTER - very much like Mum, 'relaxed' CofE.
YOUNGEST SISTER - as atheist as I am, but does not howl!

All three sisters are genuinely wonderful people - love them all to bits.

Atheist-ish? Antitheism? Something like that. So, yeah.

Why? No proof. No evidence. No answered prayers. Not logical. Hypocrites. Oh, and the bible.

@FiliusInfernum; you list yourself as the following:
Agnostic, Atheist, Humanist, Secularist, Skeptic, Freethinker, Spiritual, Believer, Religious
What are you?

In stead of taking an informal poll, why not just go through the list of members and tally the result? Oh, but that wouldn't waste any of our time, and wouldn't generate any conflict.

Born and raised

i’m an atheist because i haven’t seen any evidence for the existence of a god or deity

As a 12-ish-year-old I read the Babble several times, and Every time it was WTF with widened eyes.....
Then I found Bertrand Russell in our attic.

No Santa? No god.

It's not a choice... you believe or you don't. I never actually put a name on it when growing up.
I was introduced to religion, BUT:

-100% do not believe in gods!!

-Human Spirit ...maybe.

Mark me as athiest. Reason? No reason.

My parents were not religious nor non-religious. I grew up in a meltingpot of a neighborhood where, when I think about it, none of us were. My parents sent me to a Motessori school locally where I learned French, Spanish and the sciences (who'd have thunk Catholics teach kids this stuff?) and I vividly remember seeing the bones of a Catholic somebody or another in a glass case entombed. It was that day, as a 4 year old that I first thought, "There is no mystery behind death...there it is." So, I've been an Atheist all my life. Later in life I began to explore Atheism and philosophically attempting to understand religion. I have my theories, but most come down to transfer of very pragmatic information (albeit antiquated now) and community policing.

Atheist, former christain and former pagan.

Atheist here. Former Christian.

I'm an 'agnostic neo-deist' today, since everybody, it seems, needs a label.

I suspect there MAY be a 'god' if you expand the meaning of the word to include a perfectly valid, scientific explanation, something far beyond what our current knowledge can comprehend.
But I don't KNOW that.
So I'll just keep whistling along...
