if you are not a Christian or a Muslim - you are automatically considered an atheist
does it bother you?

I do not know why you are being accused of such. I do not recieve anything negative abut you or your questions or comments.
I feel that for the majority of the time you have a very open and tolerant way of posing your questions, as well as your answers. Not to mention that you actually make valid points in suggestions!
And besides, the greatest gift that was ever given to me was the knowledge that "What other people think of me is none of my business!"
To Thine Own Self Be
Blessed Be!

Doesn't matter what other people think of you. God knows your heart and your intentions. Even IF you are, you are STILL loved regardless of what you've done or your faith, or even lack of it. However, GOD SAYS:
Revelation 3:15-18 (New International Version)
15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
In other words, God would rather have you "cold" to him or "hot"/ "on fire" for the love he has for us. However, if we say "well, I beleve there is a God but I don't want to >really< believe he exists" it's like drinking a glass of lukewarm water which neither refreshes, nor is too hot to keep your hands off and you spit it out of your mouth, as he will do when we stand before him.
Therefore, IT DOESN'T MATTER what other PEOPLE think of you, but where you stand in the eyes of God.

I just scanned your questions. You are clearly not a Christian because you ask us what we believe in one question so that leads some people to think that you must be the opposite, an Atheist. Pretty silly but I think that's how some people think. Hey, by the way, what religion are you??

I thought you were an atheist at first. I think it's just because you back them up a lot when the fundies attack them. Then again, so do I, and I'm a Christian myself.

You are not alone Riegan.. I've been accused of being an atheist almost as many times as I've been called a man ;)

every time one disagrees with a fundie, they immediately are called an atheist.
In a fundies small mind...either you believe like them, or you don't believe in God....no other ways but theirs, because they are all knowing, they are the ultimate authority, they are the alpha and the omega...oh wait...that's God....maybe fundies get a little confused.

It seems like you give off more of a "Riegan" vibe to me.

No, there is no such thing, but when you say you don't believe in Jesus and don't state your specific belief (or lack thereof) people start to make @sses of themselves.
