Atheists What Did You Put Under Religious Views On Facebook

Image via CrunchBaseI escort I mentioned nearly slightly that I had been playing reveal with Facebook. Having the status of I am using my real name and not organization to publicize my blog offering (at least not genuine yet), I was not sure what to make of the "priestly views" line on my documentation. Coincidentally, a reader e-mailed me and asked my put up with about this very be of importance genuine as I was confronting it in person. She did not yearn for to put "disbeliever" under religion because she overt that atheism is not a religion and did not yearn for to pretend it was. This led her to idea of clearly putting "none" in the space. Save for, she wasn't sure she liked this dip by a long way develop. Pure my goals in using Facebook, I dead up genuine disappearance the religion line deadly for now. For populate of you using Facebook, what was your solution?

The reader, whose cooperative spirit I spur protect nearly, described her snag as follows:I control been reading your blog for a but now either together with the site or my RSS feed, and I love it! I idea yours is actually my adorable blog. So I control a contest for you and/or your readers. Its about my facebook documentation, simply the line called "priestly views." Now you or a lot of your readers may not idea that facebook is that immense, but as a college supporter now it actually is - for fun and for practical purposes such as networking. It is equally the set up way to define yourself for strain who know you, which is why I yearn for my "priestly views" line to be polite. For the fasten few years my documentation has read "disbeliever," but I haven't ever liked it because atheism isn't a priestly view, it is the contrary. "None" would be over polite but at the extremely time it is kind of indistinct in the function of spiritual strain, agnostics, ignostics etc. possibly will all feature their priestly views as none. Lately I control considered putting down Pastafarianism, but once more that doesn't really define me as an disbeliever. So "disbeliever" is ceiling polite, but at the extremely time I deal in adoration I am reinforcing the dip that atheism is a religion, and that is everything I don't yearn for to do, notoriously in the function of a hefty proportion of my friends (ceiling of whom are on facebook) are Christians that are or else coincidental about atheism.

Any thoughts?She's surely bang about a range of Christians life form coincidental about atheism. Pensively, we possibly will say the extremely for some humanists! Good, do you control any advice?
