A late congrats is in order here

My collection is limited to Buddy Christ. He is still standing next to my computer. People sometimes ask me if I'm religious if they see him. I never answer that question...

Congratulations from me as well.

But that took a while, didn't it?

The best answer for that question is to point out that there is no proof that God exists, but there is also no proof that he does not exist. So only a complete moron would answer either "yes" or "no" to that question.

The good thing about that answer is that when people ask you about your religion, 90% of the time they want an excuse to tell you why their belief (or non-belief) is the Truth. But pointing out to them that having any belief either way would make them a moron usually shuts them up before they start!

Although if you are pushed and have to give a yes or no answer, always say that you do not believe in God. This is because people who evangelise about atheism tend to go on for longer and be a lot more insistent that you agree they are correct, that these who evangelise about God (any god).

Spot on! I just had this discussion an hour ago.
I do not believe he exists, but who am I to state that as a fact?

The word believe is a key here.
