Like the beloved Cap'n, I'm an atheist, and I was wondering if any of my fellow browncoats are non-believers.

I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch me soar.

Actually I think Mal believes, I think that is why he is so against God. I think he believes and is very, very angry at God.

As for Atheists here, there are quite a few. If you look at one of the, "What are your thoughts on god?" threads you'll find a fair number saying, "I don't believe and this is why."

I'm not sure. He used to believe something he doesn't believe now. Anyway, still Taoist. I believe in forces in motion, but no supreme guiding hand.

I can't know for certain one way or the other, and as such won't hold myself to either belief (in the existence or non-existence of a superhuman power), because i'm the kind of person who needs profound evidence before I determine what I believe in. There's no definitive evidence one way or the other, just a sheer amount of theories and yet a myriad of variance in those theories. I'd have to describe myself as an agnostic, I suspect that it would take genuinely compelling evidence to convince me one way or the other. Although, that being said, Eastern religions (or, philisophies rather) are quite fascinating.

Hard-core atheist, and pretty anti-religious. Somewhat of a mystic, tho. While I think that science is the way to knowledge, I'm reasonably certain we will never know everything.

I'm atheist. In theory I'm ok with the idea of religion, or more generally spirituality, but in practice it seems like its almost always a vehicle for people interested in promoting some kind of 'right way to live'. All too often they're willing to apply various kinds of coercion to achieve that goal. That annoys me a great deal.

Many people here are against religion, even the devout.

Ok, I can do with some peril.

Look around you, at all of the world, the intricate system of shifting forces, electrons and quarks, predators and prey, all moving in one perfect system better designed than any watch, the cogs so subtle yet important that they must have had a designer, and intelligent one at that.

Oh ... wait a minute, I have to try to convert you to my own faith?

Come back in another twenty years, I'll proselytize you then.

I have issues with belief. Belief is what exists in the absense of (or even in contradiction to) data.

I do not 'believe' in god (or gods). I do not disbelieve in god (or gods).

I appreciate the time here.

Nearly everything I know I learned by the grace of others.
