I'm a non-believer, an Agnostic-Atheist if you really want specifics. I generally don't believe in a deity (at least not the ones in most religions) and don't really care (although, I still find it an fascinating subject). Is it possible that a god exists? Probably. Is it possible that one of the more recent Abrahamic religions are correct? I highly doubt it. But despite our differences in religion and faith, most of us can agree on one thing: Fuck the Westboro Baptist Church and their bigoted, insensitive protest signs.
And as luck would have it, someone else who also agrees with this one thing is Nathan Phelps, one of the original children of Fred Phelps (the church "founder") and brother of the current mouthpiece Shirley Phelps-Roeper.
Since his escape from his abusive family, Nathan has become an LGBT rights activist and Atheist. He shares his story with The Thinking Atheist on his radio podcast. If you have time, and if you're interested, give it a listen. If you are not an Atheist, that's fine if you are not interested.
