religious atheist? you mean that you BELIEVE that there are no
supernatural powers that guide our lives?

why not call yourself a "socialist" instead of a "leftist"? Of course,
there are a bit too many qualifications needed. My friends in
Solidarity describe their group as "democratic, revolutionary
socialist, feminist, anti-racist organization." Whew! Throw in
vegetarian and pacifist and you've got quite a soup (not that I'm
either of those).

I'm trying to think up a new term for "socialist" (with
qualifications) that's short and sweet.
