I think that's why at some point I gave up on the terms atheist and agnostic as a whole, and I try to refer to myself as simply secular. I got tired of carrying around an idea that I didn't believe in as a crutch. Habit sometimes still brings out the words and ideas that I used to fall back on, but I don't like that they were ever there to fall back on in the first place.

I hope that makes sense.
