Religious position:
I guess everybody has one, even if it may sometimes take the form of a non-position. I could probably term myself secularist, but I have lately come to like the word “a-atheist” as a description of my religious position. The word “a-atheist” is not an emulation of a speech defect. Rather, it expresses indifference to the Atheist Hypothesis. Why be indifferent to the Atheist Hypothesis? Because it denies the Monotheist Hypothesis (= "There exists X who is Y"), an empirically meaningless statement. Why should anybody go to the trouble of denying meaningless statements? Well, I don’t, so hence I’m an atheist of indifferent persuasion, thus an "a-atheist" (aatheist for short). See?
More of this can be gleaned from A superfluous debate and How can a thinking, rational adult be a monotheist?.From the Catbox :
