You could say the same for simply agreeing with the theory that God exists.

Calling yourself "non-religious" yet believing in a theory that also apperently explains how the world was created, and a belief concerning God (That he doesn't exist, or didn't crate the world), is a religion. Deny it if you wish, but it is.

Garbage. If all you do is say "yeah, I think there probably is a God" if someone asks you, that doesn't make you religious. Agreeing with the theory of evolution and the Big Bang isn't a religion in any sense of the definition. You may as well say atheism is just another religion.

There's no code of conduct you have to follow, no meetings you need to attend, no 'clergy' or historical figures you have to pay any particular level of respect to, no promise of divine reward or threat of after-death punishment if you misbehave... these are what defines religions, not just agreeing with a theory someone put forward. The same would be true if you just said "yeah, I think there probably is a god".

See, I am inclined to believe the theories that the big bang took place and that evolution is happening, but those "beliefs" don't demand or promise anything at all from/to me other than if someone asks me, I'd say "Yeah, I think they probably did happen"

Really, what's the point of classifying yourself as "non-religious"? Because you don't believe in a God/believe in evolution/whatever? So you can have an ego trip saying "HAHA, THOSE RELIGIOUS FAGGOTS BLOW THEMSELVES UP. GOOD THING I'M NOT RELIGIOUS"?

Listen to how ridiculous you sound. As if someone needs to justify their atheism/apatheism (because I consider myself an apatheist, not an atheist). As if we're the ones with any explaining to do...
