Someone who is against religion is called "unreligious" or "irreligious". An antitheist COULD refer to someone who is against religion.



An agnostic is someone who neither believes in any specific deity, nor denies any specific deity's existence. Agnostics are neutral or undecided in terms of religion.



Someone who is jaded is void of emotion or is incapable of love.



Non-denominational is a type of Christian that does not conform to an organized denomination of the Christian faith (i.e. Catholic, Protestant, Mormon, Baptist, etc.), and interprets the Bible individually as he/she feels the Bible is supposed to be interpreted.



Someone who is anticlerical is someone who opposes the influence of religion in political affairs, and supports the separation of church and state.



A materialist is a philosophical term that can be coined as someone who is similar to an Atheist's view of religion, or it can refer to someone who believes physical well-being and material possessions are the greatest good and of the highest value in life.



An apostate can refer to anyone who has abandoned their religion, or their their political party, or principles, or a cause.

ENLIGHTENED comes to mind.



I do not need an "imaginary friend" to hold my hand through all the scary things that are out there.



Man invented God when stars were thought to be little, sounds in the dark were scary, disease was misunderstood. Loving God? Explain that to parents of dead children, Tsunami survivors who lost family and everything they own, AIDS victims, War Victims, the list is endless. There is no god/GOD or else god's computer "delete" key is the way to run the world by a sick and vengeful god who got loose and gained power over earth from GOD school one day.

An agnostic is a person that does not believe in a higher power, not someone that is against religion.

I think the word antitheist has been coined for that.
