Question 1 I am a "militant atheist" devoted the trashing theism at every turn.

Question 2 I am a "passive atheist" who is tolerant of theism with optional exception of the theists that impose their views on you.

Question 3 I am an agnostic who believes that it is impossible the verify if god(s) exists or not.

Question 4 I am apathetic and could not care less if god(s) exists or not.

Question 5 I am a "passive theist" who tolerates all other philosophies and religions.

Question 6 I am "militant theist" who is totally intolerant of atheism and will be prepared to die or kill in the name of my god.

Personally I am a "passive atheist" because I feel trying to rid the world of theism is like trying the rid Australia of the rabbit.

BTW Those who answer Question 6 on my view far more dangerous that those who answer Question 1

I could of covered pantheism, deism and the list could of gone on forever but I just generalized them under the umbrella of theism.
There is also strong and weak atheism. But I prefer to use militant and passive atheism because they sound a little more explicit

I'm probably a Passive atheist because people will always believe in god, and I don't see any reason to trash them. It would be like banging your head into the wall. :banghead:

Hey, I can tell you where the militant theist came from. It was me. But I did not undrstand the poll when I voted. (I didn't read the offered descriptions before I voted). I would have voted in passive theist if I had.

Sorry, it was late. If a moderator wants to change my vote, feel free to do so.

When you look at the results, I don't understand the accompanying barchart. When I looked, "apathetic person" had 0 votes, but its bar still had a certain thickness, suggesting that the length of the bars are not directly proportional to the numbers of votes.

to being called a "passive" theist because I believe in religious tolerance.

I'm not passive, darn it! I believe what I believe fervently. I just believe in the rights of others to do the same...or disbelieve what they disbelieve fervently...or whatever.......

None. I'm a consequent atheist.
