When asked what my religion is, I say I'm a "lapsed agnostic: I used to

Is that original Russell? That's really good!

Yep. 100% all my own, although when spoken "care if there is or isn't" is
usually pronounced "give a damn." :-)

I heard someone say the other day: "I feel like I'm a citizen of the world
and my religion is to do good."

I used to tell my brother, father of some delightful neices and nephew to
me, that my purpose on this Earth was "to serve as a bad example," usually
shortly after I'd taught them something of which he would have preferred
they had remained ignorant. :-)
