UW, somewhere between 'athiest' and 'believer' (of whatever religious faith), there is a gray line.

Its called Agnostic. I subscribe to that. Heres how I define it :

- the 'believer' believes in organized religion, and the fact that "God" as a concept exists.
- The athiest believes there is no evidence that "God" as a concept exits.
- The Agnostic believes "there is not enough evidence that God exists, at the same time there is not enough evidence that God does not exist".

Re your comment on '10 commandments', let me ask you a couple questions :

- It is commonly accepted that the US was founded on Judeo-Christian Philosophy (not theology).
- Please help me understand where in Judeo-Chritian philosophy, it says that slavery is OK, and a woman has less rights than a man (eg. voting rights).

Both of these aspects have been part of US history, well after the Declaration of Independance, and the adoption of our Constitution.
