I guess there is such a thing as a passive atheist as well. It might be better to call them theistically indifferent.

One thing I DO believe, is that whether or not any god, gods, or goddesses do exists, I am quite certain that the Bible is not divinely inspired, or the word of god. That, I believe, I can say with every confidence of being right.
