Some people are allergic to dairy products. Some are allergic to faith. How you handle that allergy says a lot about who you are. -I like this analogy and I agree that it says a lot about "who you are". I have never felt envious of someones faith, I find comfort in knowing that I don't know and that anything is possible. I find a great deal of comfort in admitting I have no friggin' clue. I guess that makes me an agnostic. Still, I enjoy it when someone says grace at dinner etc. because when the right person does it and it comes from a sincere place, it can be like poetry. It allows people to say things to one another that they otherwise don't feel comfortable saying.
I consider myself an atheist, but mostly because I am uncomfortable with the agnostic moniker, because I think it gives too much credit to some silly ideas. However, I recently came across the idea of ignosticism. I don't know too much about it yet, as I've just began to read, but check out the Wikipedia page. Intriguing as a "religious" philosophy.
