Honestly I feel that religion should be personal and at that based of a person who choose to believe in what ever it is they believe in.. I think that there is no room for judgement on such topic because when all is said and done... it's not what the person sitting next to you believes in ... it's what YOU believe that will make the difference .. if that makes any sense at all ...

A “personal religion” do not exist. A religion implicates existence of a group believing in common god. Personal can be somebody’s relation to this group or position into it.

And everybody has his own god/God even without calling it “god”. Somebody’s god is identified by indication what is the most important in his life, what take the most part of the time, about what he thinks most frequently. God can be identified with an object, power, money, idea, … or a person. This personal God is the most exigent and not one like the exigencies so usually we reject and deny personal’ God existence.

Possibly, but not entirely, since it depends solely on how you define god. For example god defined as a supernatural being doesn't really fit into any of those things what you've listed there.

There is a difference, but your definitions seems confusing. Atheists deny the existence of God. Agnostics acknowledge that they
do not now whether God(s) exist.

I think that generally, atheists are perceived as more arrogant than agnostics. But, being an atheist, I cannot know for sure. You have to
ask the believers on this site about this.

As opposed to a country with an increasing amount of "democratic" inhabitants who think it's their government's business to go about invading other nations thousands of miles away?

Broadly correct analysis, although you got atheist and agnostic the wrong way round, I think

An atheist or indifferent man do not define his god. Life’ practise define him/it for that man and it is seen from an exterior spectator’s position. In “...” contain all possibilities among them your supernatural being. For me the personal God is in the same time supernatural, without the limits.

Actually no. "God" is a mand-made term with a meaning and that meaning is defined by a man. So, it depends solely on the definition of that word. If you define god that way, well you're free to do that, but not everyone sees it in a same way.

Though, depending on definition atheist can be agnostic and that kind of person is called negative atheist.

I was going to say agnostic doesn't disbelieve or believe in God's existence. and an atheist does NOT believe in god's existence.(i know my spelling sucks tonight). And like has been said there are good atheists, bad, ones that force atheisim down your throat, some that just give their opinion, and let you have yours. And some that do not know a jack rabbit from a lopped eared rabbit.

Me being Atheist, I do NOT know everything, but I do not believe in a god, goddess, dieties, ect. I find reading about ancient religions fun. But find reading about current religions(you know the religions after Jesus, or mohammad, or the jewish prophets(if any i dont know) redunant. But I don't poke fun at you for believing in this god or that. It is good to have a belief. My belief is(and i don't know why I believe this but I do) that when we die either we get trapped in a time warp where lets say our last 10 years of life keeps repeating and repeating, or we become intelligent spirits that can use energy on this earth, but we are on a different plane...hard to explain but i don't believe in heaven or hell god or devil. just that we keep living through whatever energy is around.(call it ghosts, or spirits or what have you, but thats my belief.) An Atheist's POV

Is there any poor or uneducated atheist you know around you ?

they are everywhere
