The whole reason I don't call myself "An Atheist" is because I think it sounds too much like I'm in some kind of club or something.

I just say I'm "not religious" if it ever comes up.

"I dispose of obsolete meat machines.  Not because I hate them (I do) and not because they deserve it (they do), but because they are in the way and those older ones don't meet emissions codes.  They emit too much.  You don't like them and I don't like them, so spare me the hysteria."
