Pre Theological

Someone who still needs fantasy and a belief in the supernatural to comprehend life.

The stage before post theological.

Not being able to understand evolution or basic science, he decided that he would be Pre Theological and just let his religion answer all of the hard questions for him. He allowed himself to do this because it was easier than having to think and he was afraid of what his family would say.

Naturalist

Someone who believes that studying physical sciences, nature, or natural history can help answer most, if not all, of our questions.

The term Naturalist is preferred by many Atheists because they have realized that to define "Atheism" using that terminology implies that religion or superstition is necessary in order to understand the philosophy of not believing in a god or gods.

There is no god

Usually the first thing that someone must admit to themselves before becoming a Freethinker.

Once John said there there is no god, he realized that all of us are part of a million year old social structure that is as complex as any of our body parts.

Elitist

A word used by the far right wing to label people who are intelligent as not being of the people. By doing so, the far right wing is insulting those they wish to reach by saying that couldn't possibly relate to anyone an IQ over 100.

Even thought John McCain owns 7 homes, is worth over 100 million dollars, has an economic advisor who thinks that our recession is caused by whiners, and doesn't have a clue how much a gallon of milk costs, he still calls Obama an elitist.
