I describe myself as non-religious

I started doing this recently, mostly because that is all that really matters to me. If someone believes in some form of deism or something like that, I don't really care. We don't need to discuss it. We can discuss something more important. It is really only difficult to have meaningful intellectual discussions with religious fundamentalists because their entire world is clouded by the God meme.

I was raised Catholic, but I don't practice, obviously.

I always knew you were a Pagan devil.

We were standing by Lake Superior, and I told her that she could baptize our 17 mo daughter right there. She did. My other cousin who was there couldn't understand why I would do that since I am not religious. Honestly, I have come to care less about contradictions of that nature.

Ya, I know what you mean. This is the stance held by most Jews I think. Their culture is still largely religious in nature, so it is important to the social group and the family unit. But this can be easily reconciled by embracing and enjoying the cultural aspects, without taking the scripture literally.
