Appalachian American Ennui

Atheism is relative, meaning, as Ricky Gervais points out, we are all atheists relative to some 3,000 religions that have existed over time. Nowadays in America, disbelief in the bible constitutes atheism. In that respect, I am a hard core atheist. However, when the aperture is expanded to include all systems of faith-based belief, unsupported by empirical facts on the ground, I am not. Belief in a human-esque God seems to be the reference point for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Nonsense.
