That really doesn't change my previous post any. You're entitled to how you think and feel about religion, everyone is, but people who chose aethism after being Christian can still see God the same way you do and choose to be aethist while understanding the concept in the same way as before. Most, many, these are subjective identifiers that are far too broad and sweeping to be tangible in the discussion and the context of what youre saying is far too strict to reflect an understanding of motive with compassion and understanding. Can people choose to be aethist for the wrong reasons? Absolutely! But that's not anyone's place to judge.
