From Keith Macpherson
When I say I am an atheist, those with any religious belief will imagine it is their god that I don’t subscribe to. But to quote Freddy Mercury, “I don’t believe in Peter Pan, Frankenstein or Superman”. I don’t believe in Zeus or Hera either. A believer in the Christian god who doesn’t believe in, say, Shiva, is an atheist to a Hindu. If you accept someone else’s belief in another god (this is called religious tolerance) then you are doubting your own belief – which makes you an agnostic.
