Me. Why don't you like the name Tinker? I assume I am missing something very obvious.

Hello sis. Don't like (well, not that bothered really) being referred to by something I don't believe in/don't think exists ie I'm not an afairyist. Just called it "obvious" in case I rambled on with what I've just written and got a "yeah, yeah, we all know that"

What do you call someone who doesn't believe in God but so wants something of it to be true? That's me.

agnostic is not disbelief per se, more of a show me then I'll truly believe it ind of idea.
Which is me
I was brought up a Catholic, abandoned faith along with my mother when she decided she needed to divorce my father. She left him and our faith behind.

Ah thanks for the explanation Tinker - I get it now. Maybe I am a secular humanist too - I remember doing one of those quizes a few years ago and it decided that I was closest to being a secular humanist - I like the name, but then again I am a Ms and I know that grates for loads of people too.

Think of myself as a humanist. It is so easy to hide behind a religion to have your life controlled and aportion 'blame' when things go wrong.
Or 'pray' for what you want as if that will make it happen. To live a life without these binds is harder as you have to take responsibility for your actions.
I always try to treat people as I would like to be treated myself. The biggest hypocrites I have ever met have all been from the 'god squad' of various religions.
