Instead of calling ourselves Atheists, can we just call ourselves Adelusionists?
(Thanks, Sir Oliver Cromwell. I read this in one of your answers and found it to be funny)

Oooops, Gorgeous, you're right. It's "atheist"....

Atheists... agnostics... unbelievers... humanists... secularists... rationalists... skeptics... etc... all of these labels... so unnecessary. I think religionists should just lump us all together, and refer to us as '... them doggone sane people'.

Oh, I bet you have a delusion or two, even if you've dispelled (or never had) the religious ones.
I regularly have to dislodge a delusion or myth I've found lodged in my mind. Many of them slipped in when I was very young, and didn't really didn't know what to question, or how to be sceptical.
At my age, I was raised with the insrtinctive knowledge that the cavalry were always the good guys and the Indians were the bad guys. Hmm.
I wonder what myths or illusions I haven't got to detecting yet?
I wonder which ones you haven't?

as a fashion to calculate the state of the universe at anybody time might require a beginning evaluate which the state each and every sub-atomic particle in the accounted for. because of the fact the Universe is dynamic the information might have tobe accrued immediately which may be somewhat a project. additionally the act of detecting mapping and accounting probably might exchange the information. and finally as quickly as the information is amassed the storage of it would require a storage equipment extra suitable than the universe. the only answer to this may be an life outdoors the universe.

I vote Antidisestablishmentarianists, the longest word in the english dictionary.

I'd like to still reserve the right to delude myself about certain things from time to time. :)
But overall, its a pretty neat term.

Don't capitalize it, now, the fundies, with limited mental abilities, will accuse you of having a religion.

I like "nontheist" more. The "a-" prefix implies (I think) an aversion, opposition, or "anti-" sentiment. "Non-" is more indifferent, nonconfrontational -- no emotional investment or taking sides. (It's also pronounceable.)

I personally wish that there wasn't a need for a label.

We have to first prove that disbelief is not a delusion in itself.
