"I thought you religionists ..."

"Nice labeling, do you pigeon-hole everyone like that?"

"Huh? It's the broadest term -- it is the opposite of atheist. It's in the dictionary."

It's still labeling - do you also use terms like "You blacks, you Jews, etc."?
And a dictionary? You know that us "religionists" doesn't use no dikshunaries! (Is that condescending enough for you?)

Actually, I never understood the objection to that. People all the time say to me, "you atheists", "you Libertarians", "you whites", "you men." Well, since that's what I am, I guess it seemed rather natural for them to address me that way.
