Maybe don't say myth or legend some people might be offended, story sounds less like you're ruling out what they think as being truth and belittling what they believe. Sorry just I had to go to 10 seminars about this when I

1. none/atheism
2. I belong to the only branch as far as I know. it's different from other religions because it isn't a religion
3. never. I'm the only one.
4. I don't.
5. nothing special
6. christmas. we all celebrate the birth of a man who did exist but just didn't really fill the hype-shoes those around him bestowed him with.
7. I guess the only one I can think of is when you come to the realization that intelligent design simply doesn't add up.
8. nope.
9. because I am a man of logic and atheism is the only way to logically proceed with religion.
10. ain't no god nigga we just people
11. yes. I moved to the holy mountain land that is utah
12. n/a I guess
13. well yeah supposedly this guy made the world and shit and then his son came and healed people and shit and now lots of people seem to like him even though he is long long dead. it's jut a myth though.
14. with disdain for the most part.
15. that people can believe in a god if they want to but us reasonable men can and will proceed to be good on nothing but our own merits.

So instead they hold on to a set of beliefs which carry a complete lack of substantial evidential backing. Wait a sec, that sounds strangely familiar...

Atheists are no better than religious nutters.

Sure is contradictory in here. Atheism is a religion. If you're looking for a logical and entirely impartial standpoint, agnosticism is the way to go. Atheism is as equally moronic as Christianity.

I guess you could put the same down for Agnostic with the Atheism except that I'm not denying the fact of a god, but I don't necessarily believe or pray to a god or gods.

Exactly. The real smart guys are the ones who just admit they don't know and move on.

In a way it's still a religion, it's just the belief that there is no god basically.
