Gee its only a matter of time before you spangles start praising the God of science, offering up incense to an effigy of Darwin and start quoting from your Holy book, - The God delusion.
See, we don't do that. We have no Holy books, no weird rituals, no animal sacrifices.
Interesting how that little clownesque joke of yours actually backfires, innit?

Perhaps it is our stronger fortitude and inner strength that enables us to face the realities of the world without resorting to god invention, to pat us on the head and say 'there there, everything will be okay.......Unless you sin of course; then your going to hell.'

So what many Christians have never read the Bible.
They do however claim the bible to be their holy book, whether they have read it or not.
I/We do not claim to have any holy books, due to not having any holy books.
Are you going to try to claim that we are all influenced by a book that many [most] of
us have not read, simply because it's one of the few on the subject you have every heard of?
And even if we were all [we're not] influenced by it, that still doesn't make it a holy book
full of unquestioned wisdom that we all agree on.
Because no such thing exists for atheism.
Because atheism, despite your ignorant and idiotic protestations to the contrary, is not a belief
system. It has no tenets, no commandments, and no rules bar one.
You need to lack a belief in gods.
