4. I prefer Albert Einstein's definition.

He always said that he believed in Spinoza's god, a pantheistic god. Although he sometimes said things that leaned towards Deism.

I am neither a Deist nor a pantheist. I identify as an atheist. However, I could live with pantheism, personifying nature as god. That is a reasonable definition of god for me.

Although I have problems with religion, I have no problems with most believers who I find as genuinely nice and honorable people.

That is why I have no qualms about uniting with them as brothers and sisters.

Now fundamentalists are a different story. But I'll set that aside in this forum.

My best to you all.
