Congratullations for the blog, "Atheist-in-the closet". Very thought provoking indeed. Regarding the picture above, I might be wrong, but I believe Albert Einstein, despite not being religious, did not think of himself as an atheist.
WDJ, you may be correct. I know that he had an issue with the label "atheist" as he believed it was for people who felt more fervently than did he. He was quoted as saying he did not believe in a "personal god" and said, "My position concerning God is that of an agnostic." He also said, "I believe in Spinoza's God, who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the world, not in a God Who concerns Himself with the fate and the doings of mankind."
I think he was best described as not being religious. Anyway, it's not my poster, but it is thought provoking.
Tom Selleck? ;)
