Exactly.. Having no religion is a different thing from not believing in a God .. People these days are like : -Do you go to Church? -No.. -What you are an atheist??? I mean the ignorance is strong.. And then you realize that the majority of humanity are not even Christians.. Maybe they are Atheists too :-P

I respect Opnions; who cares

I hear you man, I've learned a lot of people don't go in for religion without necessarily hating it. But you may want to get the self-professing atheists to stop using it that way first, as we all need to be using the words the same way for conversations to make sense.
