    I was referring to the question possed as what type of deity do you believe in

    My statement made is in reference to the point that most bibles in any form state God made man in his image, or god was once a man elevated to deity

    So when I said I am a man no more equal than any other man in any form

    Explains?

    I voted agnostic... It's not that I believe a god is impossible. I just needs facts. Rational girl here, what can I say!

    Religeon is defined as :

    A religion is a system of human thought which usually includes a set of narratives, symbols, beliefs and practices that give meaning to the practitioner's experiences of life through reference to a higher power, deity or deities, or ultimate truth. Religion is commonly identified by the practitioner's prayer, ritual, meditation, music and art, among other things, but more generally is interwoven with society and politics. It may focus on specific supernatural, metaphysical, and moral claims about reality (the cosmos and human nature) which may yield a set of religious laws, ethics, and a particular lifestyle. Religion also encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and religious experience.

    Atheism is described as :

    Atheism can be either the rejection of theism, or the position that deities do not exist. In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities.

    The term atheism originated from the Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning "without gods", which was derogatorily applied to anyone thought to not believe in the accepted gods, or to believe in false gods, no gods, or doctrines that stood in conflict with established religions. With the spread of freethought, skeptical inquiry, and subsequent increase in criticism of religion, application of the term narrowed in scope. The first individuals to self-identify as "atheist" appeared in the 18th century.

    So Atheism is not a religeon, there is no practice, ritual, prayers, organised forum is association with a Non God Belief, its simply a rejection of any deities
