Nor I - and that was my point. Religious slogans tend to be less upbeat.
Meadowfairy - I wholeheartedly agree with your view. Divisiveness is the issue and atheism v religion can be as divisive as Muslim v Christian. But
what is the solution? Traditionally atheists have tended to keep their mouths shut while religious factions war with each other and those of no
religious persuasion. I think it's quite understandable that once in a while they lose patience and gently promote the value of rational
uncertainty.
To avoid taking sides I was tempted to say, as you do, that I am neither religious nor atheist, but decided this is nonsensical and dishonest.
It means "I am atheist", just as, "I am neither political nor apolitical" means "I am apolitical".
