I don’t consider myself a realist but I do consider myself pragmatic; I don’t think they’re the same thing but I don’t know if I can say what the difference is offhand. I think of realists as downers I guess, pragmatists as just a little bit annoyingly chipper but have similar aims.

Consider myself agnostic, never atheist. Pragmatic like Dewey but not Utilitarian like Singer – that sort of thing.
