Seeker agnostic, but can go into activist territory if someone starts pushing anti-atheism legislation.

It is the intellectual atheist/agnostic type for me, with seeker agnostic as the next best fit.

As described I'm of the Intellectual variety with Activist as a close second. I'm first and foremost critical of Religion, dogma, revelation, tradition-for-tradition's sake, visions, pseudoscience, New Age, etc. I don't in any sense believe in that stuff.

I think that Non-Theist is probably the best term to describe me.

     Probably non-theist, though I move more and more towards becoming a ritual atheist as time goes on.

Intellectual mostly, though I have been known to dabble in all of the others in at least some point.

Outside this board I hardly talk about it. There's a tendency amongst some Americans (sorry guys) to talk about atheists as if they have arrived from Mars. That means I have to be a little defensive about it at times, particularly when faced with a reductionist argument that Atheism simply sprung from the loins of Dawkins. Given that I'm from a country where 50% of adults and nearly 70% of under 30's don't have a religious faith it's not really a talking point or a point of contention.
