 Ditch The Words
Although, I feel that I would chose the term agnostic over atheist, in having continued discussions with atheists, I have recently decided that both words are pointless. They no longer serve a purpose, they have no clear definitions, and some definitions of the two allow them to not be mutually exclusive. Those two words have collected far too much baggage over the last 150 years and right now lead to absurd semantical debates between people who essentially agree. They are unnecessary hurdles to overtake in an epistomological debate. In all seriousness, from this point on I will describe myself as "one who places his confidence in logic, reason, and the scientific method." Period. No dependence on highly subjective language. Just the concepts. Does there have to be a name for it? Not really! But there is always the tongue-in-cheek "Scientific Methodist".
