Do you ever feel "in the closet" about your atheism/agnostic views?

94. Thank you for a very thoughtful and informative reply.

I may not be a Christian, don't believe I can even quantify my journey using any label, but my first favorite teacher was Christ and his message appears quite clear. I took him to be a raging liberal consumed by love that should have been listened to.

A man that I always felt understood positive Christianity better than others I have read was CS Lewis, I still read his non-fiction for insight. The start of my real search began with Joe Campbell however.

I have since come to believe not only "God is neither a Baptist nor a Methodist; He is neither a Presbyterian nor a Episcopalian. God is bigger than all of our denominations." but I would add that God is neither Christian, Nor Buddhist, Nor Wiccan but rather all and none.

I would consider it rude to push my small beliefs on others, I find it rude when others do so to me (not necessarily harmful, but very rude) I will try to suffer them better in the future and even thank them for taking the time.
