“You do, you know,” said The Lady. “Everyone has gods. You just don’t think they’re gods.”

    As I said, the typical “atheism is a religion” nonsense.

    I worship nothing and I never have worshiped anything. I’ve also never believed in something with supernatural powers that can control me.

    I have no gods. I don’t really care what your favorite gods are, I never asked.

      Quite the opposite, as it suggests that human societies behave to natural things as if they were supernatural. We’re superstitious. It implies that all those things we might call god, are merely lightning in a thunderstorm behaving according to electrostatic mechanics.

      I don’t fear the Almighty, but I do fear militants who are determined to insist I do.

        I do no such thing. You do not speak for me and neither does OP.
