jibber

he's a agnostic. an agnostic is different from an atheist in that atheism is the assurance that there is not a god (just like christians are assured that there is a god). agnostics are mainly defined by their belief that it simply does not matter.

And about your accusations that atheists are more bigoted than religious people, i beg to differ. I'll focus on Christianity since that's the religion under discussion at the moment. If taken literally, and followed exclusively and entirely, the bible is an incredibly exclusive group of teachings. It excludes people of other religions, it excludes ***s, people who have sex before marriage, people who divorce, I could go on. And no, many intelligent (key word there), rational Christians realize the absurdity of this. What Bill Maher did was to expose the VAST amount of bible thumping bigots, who use religion as a tool to justify their own intolerence. Atheists CAN be just as hateful and bigoted towards those kind of religious people, and in truth, some are just as bigoted towards anyone who believes in a deity. But there is not the vast numbers of bigoted atheists as there are bigoted bible thumpers.
