How about adding "the evidence on the God question is at a similar level to the evidence on the werewolf question" as an option?


I dunno, is that really analogous? The werewolf question would barely alter your behavior even if you did believe in them.

If you're saying that you do not act as if a God existed, I call that atheism. To me belief isn't a matter of profession, it's a matter of altered behavior. By this standard a lot of so-called believers actually aren't, so this is perhaps controversial, but I think this clarifies things.


I really don't see the common analytic framework there - but sure, you can vote on the werewolf/cookie monster option. :)
