    All atheists are rather cringe. Who guess around self-proclaiming a label that literally means nothin? Are you aunicornist? Aleprechaun? Afairy? How silly.

    If you’re truly just agnostic… That’s a fair and humble admittance of ignorance.

    If you think the Bible is bullshit and the Quran is a lie, go with that. At least now you’re saying something meaningful relating to your actual beliefs.

      An atheist doesn’t simply disbelieve in the gods, they believe other people should also disbelieve in the gods. It’s a political stance as much as a belief. If someone doesn’t really care about religion, they’re not really an atheist imo - it requires that extra step.
