Questions:

1. How do you define these terms: agnostic; atheist; humanist.

2. Do the terms agnostic and atheist deserve to have any moral value, or should they be limited to the amount of certainly one has regarding lack of deities?

3. Do you agree that the secular society offers more protection of religious freedom than a religious society?

4. What is your opinion of "Movement Atheism" - the Four Horsemen (Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennett, Harris), Atheism Plus, etc.? Do nonbelievers need an organization akin to a church or house of worship?

5. Is it possible for believers to be humanists? How can they reconcile their faith with the admission that one can be good without gods?

6. What has been your experience with agnostics vs. atheists vs. believers in terms of open-mindedness? Have you noticed differences in civic engagement?

7. Where do you put yourself on the diagram of belief?
