On several sites I am well known as an atheist writer though I write stories and articles about a wide variety of topics. I write how-to articles about fish care, floral design, cooking, and sex. I write editorials and memoirs. I also write fiction, poetry, and erotica.
You'll see where this becomes relevant soon, I promise.
I have been repeatedly messaged and occasionally emailed by readers for (what seems to me) a very odd reason.
In my fiction, poetry, and erotica I sometimes use the words God, Jesus, demon, devil, Jihad, soul, spirit, ghost or other words which refer to supernatural concepts either as literary devices or in dialog. I have been told by a number of readers that the use of such words means that I can't possibly be an atheist, that it means I must believe in God.

The "more atheist than thou" crowd, eh? God bless 'em.
I was in a group marriage for two years. Never been homeless though--in a group marriage or out (ha).
Wrote for American Atheist years ago when the O'Hairs still ran it.
