Atheists, do you say "Mama/papa, or Mother/Father, or Mom/Dad"?

And do you think one has religious background if one says it otherwise?

    Mom and dad, usually.  No, I don't think it has anything to do with religion, per se, but rather with the particular linguistic background parents have.

    Sometimes I say "mom", other times I call her by her first name. And no, I don't draw conclusions about the religious background of anyone who uses other terms.

    Mom is an American spelling - in the UK we say mum.

    If your question does not address my lack of belief in any gods, your question has nothing to do with atheism. Why is this so hard for you dipshits to understand?
