I guess I could describe myself as a panentheistic neo-deist. I believe that there is some animating force beyond space and time that's worthy of the title "divine", and that we can learn more about this creator through the scientific method and direct experience.
I'm also a universalist. I think that there are common threads in every religion that speak to the human psyche on a fundamental level, for better and worse.

I would go with agnostic or non-religious. I don't have a problem with anyone else's beliefs or with dating a Christian, as long as she doesn't expect me to share it with her to try to push it off on me. I had to join a freethought meetup group to meet like-minded people in my southeast Alabama location.

If atheism hadn't become the anti-religion religion, I would have selected it. I guess I'll just go with "Don't Care".
Atheism hasn't become anything. You're thinking of anti-theistism.
I see people every day here and elsewhere that are religious about their atheism, whatever the definition. Consequently, I don't want to associate with the term.

My family is for the most part Lutheran with a few Catholic sprinkled in. I wasn't really raised religious and it's not really apart of my life in any way.
