The Definition of Atheist

The dictionary describes words as they have come into meaning, at least in the english language. So if thereis an emergent sense of what an atheist is, and that sense is being defined by those who are most visible, then i have to say there's got to be some other word for me, but not that word. The very fact that i get that phrase often in people responding to something i say or do tells me that i'm not behaving in the way they expect an atheist to behave. I'm happy to have no label at all. And that is for much shallower philosophical reasons than how much you've thought about my nervs. Just very plumb practical.
