You scored as a Militant Atheist
Willing to take theists to task, the Militant Atheist is someone who knows deep within themselves that there is no god and they want to tell you all about how they know. Even though they're as annoying in their own way as militant theists, this is often a phase of development and doesn't tend to last very long. If it does, they're in danger of becoming an Angry Atheist and making everyone uncomfortable.

Re: Scores and for ...
Yes I do find that very interesting. I had no idea that I was so obnoxious.

Thanks for setting me straight RAZD, Since I couldn't recover the information I retook the test and got these results:
You scored as Scientific Atheist, These guys rule. I'm not one of them myself, although I play one online. They know the rules of debate, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and can explain evolution in fifty words or less. More concerned with how things ARE than how they should be, these are the people who will bring us into the future.

What kind of atheist are you?
created with QuizFarm.com
I think that I scored 17% Theist only because I believe that maybe the so-called "God" equals the Universe, that is my Pantheist position. I do notice that I scored the same 83% for militant atheist as for scientific atheist, so I guess in my own humble way I'm an "intelligent asshole", or perhaps just a "smartass". I can live with that.

"You scored as a Spiritual Atheist
Ah! Some of the coolest people in the world are Spiritual Atheists. Most of them weren't brought up in an organized religion and have very little baggage. They concentrate on making the world a better place and know that death is just another part of life. What comes after, comes after.

Re: about me...
And I was surprised that Theist for me registered even at 25%. Perhaps my Pantheist world view is coming through (God = Universe).
