      I am an atheist.

      Let's be sure we understand the definitions, OK?

      Merriam Webster defines ATHEIST as "a person who does not believe in the existence of a god or any gods", and AGNOSTIC as "a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (such as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god".

      Here is a great essay on atheism by Penn Gillette, who you might be surprised to learn, is a fellow of the Cato Institute, and has been an atheist since his teens:

      Yes, atheist. There is a group for atheists here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/3964-atheists-on-mfp

      Seems pretty dead in there.

      Yes, it isn't very active because people don't want to post in an inactive group, thereby keeping it fairly inactive. Most groups on MFP seem to be like that.

      Hi how do I become friends with people on here???

      Radical Atheist here. I believe its way easier here in the UK as I hardly know anyone who believes. And I do not know of anyone who goes to church other than W/F/C.
      To me its about being moral, do no harm, treat others as you want to be treat. Do not blame the sky fairy (GOD you know that its only DOG spelt backwards) for any thing good or bad that happens to you or you do.

      Hi to every one I hope I am not too deep for a first post....

      So here's my deal....

      I was sent to a Catholic elementary school (I was baptized Methodist) for a better education. I learned all about the Catholic religion. As I grew older, I didn't necessarily believe in THAT God that all speak of and abide by and such. I did, however, think that maybe there was some higher power that we could possibly look up to for....something....anything. I guess really, it's just the childhood upbringing hoping for guidance.

      I ended up pulling the same garbage my parents did and sending my child to a Christian school (he still loves me). He's been there since he was in Pre-K and he graduates this year. He is now an atheist.

      I think for a while I was agnostic, but as time went on, I feel that I'm an atheist. The bible is a story and there's no God judging me from above.

      You may notice that old teachings die hard. I still capitalize god and religions and stuff. I appreciate proper grammar (though, I'm not here to judge about that either).

      Atheist, humanist, skeptic, liberal.

      I started with more than 100 pounds to lose, but that was 4 years ago. I'm doing it slowly. I've got about 15 to go to get to more than 100 pounds lost. I haven't actually decided what my final goal weight is.

      I've always had a tendency to identify as agnostic, but probably really verging on atheist, and humanist. Hi! Friend requests welcome.

      I did spend a very 'interesting' year as a science teacher in a Catholic school, where I also had to teach a religion class. Talk about conflict of interest! (all I can say is, thank the baby jesus that the actual official stance of the Catholic church is that evolution is correct, lol)

      I guess I'm agnostic. Buddha quotes are as spiritual as I can get.

      Atheist here, good to see so many others! Where I live I feel very alone and really haven't even admitted to being an atheist because they're so looked down on here.

      @nicholasdyoung You become friends by either sending a request (and that person accepts) or accepting a friend request. From here, you can click on someone's username or avatar/photo to the left of their post for a small pop-up window. Click in the pop-up window on their name or photo again to go to their profile. On profile, click Add Friend button. It's nice to include a brief message to help that person decide whether to accept the friend request.

      Agnostic (still a little hope inside, my hypocrisy knows no bounds) leaning towards atheism.

      But I definitely do not believe in organized religion.

      another agnostic/humanistic here (raised that way) though I have attended a Unitarian Universalism church in the past when I felt a need for spirituality.
