Humanist fantasy and atheist fandom

[sqbr]

Within about twenty minutes of finding out about atheist_fandom I posted some thoughts about humanist fantasy that have been noodling around in my brain with all the discussion of religion in fandom. It's written for an atheist audience so I didn't bother justifying why I need the occasional antidote to religious fantasy, I'm a little worried it comes across as actively anti-religious which was not my intention.

It is raining! It hasn't rained here in a very long time, even by Western Australian standards. (EDIT: Wow. That was quite a storm! I lost power for a full day! Other people had flooding, golf ball size hailstones, the works!)

It doesn't really sound anti-religious to me.

I feel kinda weird in these sorts of things because I'm a Faithful Xtian, so to me the kinda "anti-God/god" fiction is like someone saying bad and untrue things about my family. XD But then, I also prefer stuff that has NO real evidence of a deity one way or the other, beyond "This is what these people worship." The minute an actual deity gets manifested and all, I just stop caring. :/

(Which is why Reliquary has lots of supernatural goodies but will never have any direct divine intervention. It's more fun if things are left ambiguous!)

If it can't come across as anti-religious in atheist_fandom, where? :-).
