I find it odd that when filling out a form that asked me what my religion is one of the choices is Atheist.

What now? That is the that opposite of religion.

      It could be that atheiests are lumped in with people who aren’t members of an organized religion where you live.

      It’s interesting.

      Does the word literally mean “confessionless”?

      Could it literally mean either a person that doesn’t take part in the Christian tradition of Confession? Or maybe a person that doesn’t profess any beliefs?
