Atheists (and non-theists) Only: What kind of atheist are you?

[spiritually inclined]

Inner reality is one of those fluffy concepts with little substantive meaning.

I wouldn't expect it to have substantive meaning to someone who has not experienced that state of mind. Subjective experiences can be very meaningful to the person undergoing them, but that doesn't mean others can fully understand the effects without experiencing them. However, I wouldn't expect any two subjective experiences of consciousness to be exactly the same anyway.

What kind of atheist are you? You scored as a Apathetic Atheist Meh... whatever. Apathetic Atheists tend towards disbelief because believing takes more work. These are the people who won't argue religion, even if a total nutjob confronts them because arguing just seems like a waste of time they could spend doing something else.

This does not describe me at all. I don't think this quiz was set up to be very accurate. The statements were either unanswerable with "true" or "false", or it even ignored some of my answers. I even said that I like to debate religious people, and it then tells me I don't like to argue about religion at all.

These guys rule. I'm not one of them myself, although I play one online. They know the rules of debate, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and can explain evolution in fifty words or less. More concerned with how things ARE than how they should be, these are the people who will bring us into the future.

Acutally it looks like I got a tie between scientific and spiritual atheist. Interesting.

I am a scientific atheist (Evolution, big-bang, space/time/energy/mass, brain/electro-chemical, type). I do not need to take a quiz.

I thought so, that was a good quiz. I thought I would score more as an angry or militant atheist, though.

Inner reality is one of those fluffy concepts with little substantive meaning.

Sankara defined three types of reality. Absolute (Paramarthika) - Energy, Pragmatic (Vyavaharika) - Observed world, Mirror (Pratibhasika) - Demons, hallucinations. The first is what exists, the second is what brain makes of what exists, the third is totally a creation of brain without any reference to what exists. Am I a man? No, I am a bunch of atoms (I am a fluctuation in quantum field). The first is Pragmatic, the second is Absolute. The first is what our senses with their limited capabilities make of the second.

Not too far off the mark, but I also wonder where the "theist" came from - probably due to choosing the middle of the road for whether the universe is "structured". (Which is just semantically sloppy on their part.)

Also, I do challenge nutjobs, but I don't put a lot of effort into it or think I'm doing a service to humanity by doing so. It's more like playing a whack-a-mole game for personal amusement.
