There's a better word for what I am: an apatheist.
It's a neologism that fuses "apathy" and "theism." It means someone who has absolutely no interest in the question of a god's (or gods') existence, and is just as uninterested in telling anyone else what to believe.

Phrases
I've decided that I want Barack Obama to choose my Governor, Janet Napolitano, for VP. Then I can use the short phrase "Obamapalitano" in political commentary. Let me know if you have any phrases you would prefer.
I want a new word too. I want the word adjetoxic to be used when somebody makes a reasoned comment but goofs by using a hugely negative descriptive noun verb or adjective in their statement. I.e the golf announcer Kelly Tilghman used the word lynch in reference to Tiger Woods when 'beat the crap out of' would have not caused, well, such an adjetoxic uproar. (adjective plus toxic) David Shuster adjetoxically used pimp when two-faced Machiavelian manipulation would have been acceptable. Pejora-bomb? cheers!
