# Someone asked me if i was atheist the other day
but i replied, surely if you label yourself as athiest then you are acknowledging Christians. Maybe i sound stupid but i just call myself a human.

# Someone asked me that too.
I told them:
I'm not atheist, I'm a-atheist or something. I just really, really don't give a shit about religion at all. I don't label myself as atheist because...I don't care enough about non-belief to class myself as anything.

# By current establishment criteria you're possibly antitheist but you're right.
Why TF should you have to say where your beliefs or lack of them fall into some other person's/organisation's parameters? Who TF said anybody else is allowed to categories you/me/other?

# I did think about that but surely an anti-thiest is against religion;
I just don't give a flying fuck.
Edit: I agree with your edit. Nobody falls into a single category. Even devout christians differ on some points - some are pro choice for abortion, for example, while others are not.
There is no "standard" set, every belief is different so why should we have labels?

# No apology required. Fuck all wrong with profanity!
Agree with you on religion, it's just an excuse for a scrap, whatever level you look at. Christians vs Muslims at the top, Protestants vs Catholics further down. One big tree of mayhem, and they're all trying to hack each other's branches off.

# Publicising did come up
But I thought better of it. I suppose "preaching" would've been more appropriate.

Propagate is usable, though. Lies can be propagated. As can, of course, propaganda.

Edit: Almost seriously though, I agree but whereas fairly recently it was unrealistic to expect someone to pull out the OED to find out what you meant it's surely not too difficult to Google?

# I'd disagree
I'd say religion provides a very useful form of social control. What better way to get a bunch of semi-civilised animals to behave than to convince them there's an all-powerful deity watching your every move and taking notes?

# Phhhhht
Unlikely. We're talking about humans.

Much as I'd like to see humans calmly and rationally accept responsibility for their actions and be nice to each other, perhaps accept Humanism as a philosophy to live by, they won't. They get too excited and upset at even little things. Best just to scare the crap out of them to keep them in line.

# That's not generally a part of the religion
That's in the "interpretation". The violence is usually thanks to some loon in charge who says it's ok to do bad things for the right reason.

The "main" religions of the planet tend to preach being nice to each other. Unfortunately, many adherents pay more attention to the leaders than the texts.
