“Anything but an atheist”¶
¶
This is the title of a video on Youtube.
How do wecould you rephrase "Anything but an atheist"?
When there is not a specific person doing an action, you should use “you” (or “one”, which is more formal) rather than “we”.
I think it’s called an “impersonal pronoun” if you want to google it for more information.
In a formal or old-fashioned way of speaking, you could have written “how could one rephrase...”, but very few people actually use “one” in this way nowadays. “You” as an impersonal pronoun is much more common.
Feedback
Without more context, “anything but an atheist” suggests that the person who wrote it thinks that atheism (being an atheist) is either a bad thing or an expected thing which turned out not to be true. That’s what it looks like to me, anyway...
You could potentially rephrase it as “they were a lot of things, but they were not an atheist”, or “please don’t tell me they were an atheist?!” (Suggesting horror at the idea)
It’s hard to say without context.

Thank you so much for teaching me impersonal pronouns. It really helps me understand my mistakes.

Thank you so much for your comments on the title.
I came to understand that the author implied something like: I accept anything but an atheist.
I don't care no matter what religion you are, but I cannot accept the idea of being an atheist.
The last thing that I like is the idea of being an atheist.
Thank you so much, again!

"Anything but" = "Anything except" = "Anything, but not ____"
I think in general "anything but an athiest" has a negative connotation. I guess it's a bit hard to tell without context. I'll give some examples to explain what I mean.
"I'm okay with my daughter marrying anything but an athiest."
= "As long as my daughter doesn't marry an athiest, I'm okay with her marriage."
= "I'm not okay with my daughter marrying an athiest, but I'm okay with anything else."
I feel like this sentence implies that marrying an athiest is the worst choice that this person's daughter could make.
In Canada, we describe some people as "ABC voters" or "anything but conservative voters." These people prefer any electoral outcome over the conservatives winning. Conservatives are their last choice.
__
In English, we have another phrase "nothing but" that's kind of similar, but it means something different.
"Nothing but" = "the same as" = "nothing more than" = "only"
"3 + 8 is nothing but 11"
"Good results come from nothing but hard work"

How do wcould you/one rephrase "Anything but an atheist"?
one is more formal, often used when writing whereas you might be better if you're talking to someone.
"anything but" implies something negative, you are correct. Here's one more example: "The movie you recommended me was anything but good.", meaning that the movie could be qualified as anything apart from good. In other words, the movie was definitely not good.
Feedback
Instead of "Anything but an atheist", one could write "Anyone except someone who is atheist".
