Hedonistic Humanist
You are one of life?s enjoyers, determined to get the most you can out of your brief spell on this glorious planet. What first attracted you to atheism was the prospect of liberation from the Ten Commandments, few of which are compatible with a life of pleasure. You play hard and work quite hard, have a strong sense of loyalty and a relaxed but consistent approach to your philosophy. You can?t see the point of abstract principles and probably wouldn?t lay down your life for a concept, though you might for a friend. Something of a champagne humanist, you admire George Bernard Shaw for his cheerful agnosticism and pursuit of sensual rewards, and your Hollywood hero is Marlon Brando, who was beautiful (for a while), irascible and aimed for goodness in his own tortured way. You adored the humanist London bus slogan (?There?s probably no God, now stop worrying and enjoy your life?) and are delighted that wild young comedians like Stewart Lee, Christina Martin and Ricky Gervais share your full-blooded rejection of religion. Sometimes you might be tempted to allow your own pleasures to take precedence over your ethics. But everyone is striving for that elusive balance between the good and the happy life. You?d probably better open another bottle and agree that for you there?s no contest.
Eh, I think this is only partly true. I do enjoy "the good life" so much as it is possible on my pay, but my ethical/moral code, while unorthodox, is very strict and does, in fact, take precedence over my own pleasure. And I would most certainly lay down my life for an idea. Just because I've abandoned "in your face" atheism/antitheism as rather pointless in my little world doesn't mean there aren't ideas I'd fight and die for.
And I love that quote by Marx on the test-- it's one of my favorites.
