However, when I say "I don't believe in god." People will often gasp and looked at me as if I'm crazy.
Is there a huge different in saying " I don't have any religion" and "I don't believe in god" ?

Yes. If you don't believe in God, you are an athiest. If you don't believe in religion, you are agnostic. One doesn't necessarily follow the other.
IMO, most people that claim to be atheists are really agnostic - they hate religion, but don't necessarily discount the existence of God. [/QUOTE]As Steven Colbert once said, "Agnostics are just Athiests without balls."
And, it's actually quite sad that Athiests are regarded in today's society as evil, or satanic. Fact of the matter being, we probably outnumber the jewish community. Just too disbanded, and afraid to join together.
Given that most people pull the "Hitler was Athiest! Stalin was athiest! Athiests are EVIL" mantra, that fear is founded...
But I digress. As far as I can tell, from what history has said, Sun=masculine, moon=feminine.
