Heh, I was just naming what I thought I saw. I'm very lax about religion and I don't ever push my beliefs (whatever they tend to be) on anyone. However, the funny thing about your comment is the fact that the "non-religious" people tend to label themselves.
When I visited Seattle last month, there was a fair going on. Seattle Atheists had a booth up and I was kinda dumbfounded. I mean.. They had a newsletter and brochures. I just didn't get it. What are they advertising? The fact they don't believe in anything.. It just sounded dumb.
Their motto was: "SEATTLE ATHEISTS: A NON-
PROPHET ORGANIZATION". It was odd. Wouldn't atheists not want to parade around like that?
