LOL I am Catholic. But see what I mean? Since I don't use RF as a tool of any type, and am here basically for the entertainment, does it even matter?

Hey, whatever works for you.
If yore the cult leader, and you tell them not to bother you, they have to listen, right?
If anyone follows my example then i pity them. I set an example for me, just because i happen to be atheist so i don't believe in god. Anything apart from that is just me.
There are one or few who are terrible at putting their religion foreword, my children burning in hell because I'm an atheist sickens me that that is what they believe their religion is about.
Your posts work for me.

Likewise! Hey, we are compatible I guess!!
I'm not one to inspire love, obedience, respect,
or any other such useful feelings in followers.
People can take up Taoism but they can't take up my faith because it's very personalized to me, my individual circumstance, and how I uniquely fit into my society and world. So I'm not really concerned with trying to set an example.
So I guess for anyone who might be silently observing wondering what I'm about, here's that super corny apocryphal quote possibly from Albert Camus:
Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead.
Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Its a very good question. I personally enjoy the opportunity to discuss and debate religion with a diverse group. In that sense I'm like everyone else here.
We all bring our unique perspective and set of experiences to the group. I try to be fair and balanced in my contributions. As a member of a recognized religion (Bahai) I do feel a responsibility to represent my faith. That said, for the better part of my time, I'm here to learn though on occasion I will provide a Bahai perspective or consider my experience growing up Christian.
Sometimes I read the posts of my fellow Bahai and will think about whether or not it could have been expressed better. I'm sure my fellow Baha'is have the same experience with my posts. The thing is we're all on a journey trying to get by in the world and hopefully become better human beings. Getting too judgemental of others usually doesn't help.
I don't focus too much on marketing myself or my faith. I do hear a lot of criticism about the Bahai faith here. Like Christianity and Islam we hold particular beliefs that will inevitably attract negative attention.

That’s a great quote. Can’t imagine Camus ever saying it, he was a bit of a misanthrope. I’ll be sure to steal it though, thanks.
That and it sounds terrible in French. Lol.
I think there are a lot of people here who rarely talk about their personal faith, and a ton more who only do it in DIRs. But yes, there are others who wear it on their sleeves.
Mine is tattooed on my shoulder, but it's rare that anyone sees it.I certainly do.
FWIW, I think you represent the tolerant fun atheist really well, certainly a lot better than Revoltingest.
If I'm being transparent, I don't really own that shirt. It was meant to be a play on "wear it on their sleeves."
I don't any clothing with any Hindu symbols on it, and the only piece of jewelry I have is an ॐ pendant that hangs from my rear view mirror.

I can only hope I'm able to express myself well enough for readers to be inspired to investigate and think for themselves. I've been unable to find a "religion" that I can follow, so I have nothing to represent other than a positive view of individuality in beliefs and worship. . .freedom of spirituality.
