I chose 'other'. I only have a severe distaste for religious zealots.

I have a severe distaste for those narrowminded enough to make sweeping generalisations about millions [and more often then not billions] of people. I think there are constructive factions and dangerous/opressive factions in most religeons. I think the following sums it up quite well

The mullahs of the Islamic world and the mullahs of the Hindu world and the mullahs of the Christian world are all on the same side. And we are against them all.

I have a severe distaste for faith

I have a severe distaste for logical fallacies, the use of force or sacrifice and people pretending to know things that they couldn't possibly know. How many religions does that cover?

Also, why is atheism up there? Atheism is not a religion.

It is a belief.

A lack of a belief is still a belief.


"I do not believe in god or a god" is indeed a belief.

I guess I see it differently. No offense to those who believe in a god or gods, but I see it the same as not believing in Zeus or Set or any other deity.
