Miss Anthrope

That's interesting, although I personally can't say I ever had the impression that atheists were "crabby misanthropes" anyway. But I can kind of imagine that stereotype existing (not sure why, maybe because I just read that it exists, haha...I better stay away from sinister hypnotists).

I think the only part I took exception to, personally, was about the "undecided" not being as upbeat. I know it just meant "in general", of course. But I actually find that, even with some of the frustration not having a belief/non-belief can bring about, that my mood is better when I'm more undecided and inquistive, as opposed to when I lean towards more atheistic thought.
How big is the smallest fish in the pond? You catch one hundred fishes, all
of which are greater than six inches. Does this evidence support the hypothesis
that no fish in the pond is much less than six inches long? Not if your
net can’t catch smaller fish. -Nick Bostrom
