Being a non-theist makes a person white?Well would you look at that! Two people voted 'none or atheist', apparently we still got some determined white folks on here!

I voted none or atheist. The main reason I made up to the poll was to see if there were more atheist on here. I thought I was the only one.
I do wonder who the other atheist (or 'none') are. Either they don't post much (if at all) or they never felt the want to posts in a thread that would call attention their non-beliefs.
I could have picked 'non religious but spiritual and personalized.' I'm an eclectic atheist, and from the atheist I've conversed with, we don't exactly believe in the same thing either. They believe in 'nothing' while I learn toward a spiritual belief in metaphysics or mystical occult. I'm attracted to earth-based religions like Wicca or traditional Afrikan and Native American religions that respect and revere our natural humanly nature (as oppose to seeing it as naturally sinful and wicked) and the ancestors. I like that they try to work in harmony with nature and work with nature through some methods of the occult (meaning - 'knowledge that is not known, present, or understood in the traditional sense').
Some atheist or pagans want to claim me as agnostic (meaning I'm not sure whether or not god exist), but I know I'm not agnostic. I claim atheist because I don't believe in any religion, their holy book, or their version of god. Of that I am sure of. I eschew religious linear hierarchy and prefer to think that everything and everyone is intertwined and circular. 'God' is not above me but around me, inside me, about me; and evry where and everything that I see and lay hands upon is 'god.' I am god/goddess and god/goddess is me and I am the highest order for setting the moral and ethical standards for myself, not someone else or some other entity.
I'm atheist, but don't mind the label of pagan or heathen also.
I have a special affinity for the term 'heathen'
