Robert Frost is alleged to have said that.

When asked what my religion is, I say I'm a "lapsed agnostic: I used to
wonder if there is a God, now I don't care if there is or isn't." That
usually shuts up the questioner (or would-be proselytizer)...

Is that original Russell? That's really good!

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

LOL! You guys are funny. :-D When I moved to the P.I. the gov there
required we fill out entry/visa forms that had a blank for religion;
so I just left it blank. They gave them back to me and said "you have
to be something, you must put down your religion." So I put down
"Aviation." ;-) They knew I was a pilot and that got a pretty good
laugh out of all of them. I wished I'd put down Russell's "lapsed
agnostic."
