I see that you listed the age of 46 and above as being the elderly group in your poll. I only wish I could be 46 again, it was such a long time ago. Anyway, I've been an atheist since I was a teenager and have only grown stronger in my point of view since that time.

I am a believer in reincarnation and I think the "Golden Rule" is the way we all should live. I believe there is a "Greater Power" which we all will meet up with at sometime.

I believe in the diety that created the universe, and is king of my heart

That's sad, you should know better than to expect everyone to think just like all the other sheep.

Yes, you seem to do so. You're the kind of believer that we atheists welcome warmly. Thank you for being a good example of your beliefs.

Your older than me and Montana?
I want to be at your next birthday party along with Willard Scott and the Smuckers crew.

Will be 23 in January, I do not believe in a deity, and have less use for such belief each day.

Wow...I am 62, a true "senior", according to my birth cert...but I am still 16 in my head at times. I am not a Christian, by any means, but I am also not an atheist. The Universe definitely holds the design of some energy source...not sure what exactly.

- Do you believes that this "energy source" is actively involved in human lives, answers prayers, demands devotion, makes miracles? Then you may be a theist (though not Christian).
- Do you believe that it doesn't affects the everyday life of human beings, but that it's still self-conscious and has goals? Then you may be a deist.
- Do you believe that it isn't self-conscious? That design is really just a product of the laws of universe, although it sometimes awes us and humbles us? Then you may still be an atheist.

I hope that helps. Don't want to put a label on you, though.
