I find it odd that when filling out a form that asked me what my religion is one of the choices is Atheist.

What now? That is the that opposite of religion.

    Non-denominational is still religious/spiritual here, like Christians that aren’t affiliated with a specific church.

      Hm weird, I left religion and now I am labeled as “Konfessionslos”. Dont pay anything to a church or anything that has to do with this fairytale story.

        It could be that atheiests are lumped in with people who aren’t members of an organized religion where you live.

        It’s interesting.

        Does the word literally mean “confessionless”?

        Could it literally mean either a person that doesn’t take part in the Christian tradition of Confession? Or maybe a person that doesn’t profess any beliefs?
