So you dont care about the children. Not surprising, given your
obvious megolomania

Athiesm, just another faith based belief system

By the very nature of Atheism,it has no faith or beliefs.

Unless you are recategorising "Atheism"?

Atheist definition in my dictionary:

Someone who denies the existence of a god.

So then a Catholic who denies Zul is an Athiest?

To a worshipper of Zul, yes. The idea that there was no divine
entities at all, was something which only entered the philosophical
scene after the Enlightenment. Prior to that, an "atheist" was
someone who didn't believe in the proper god(s).

One of the charges against the early Christians was that they were
"atheists" (after all, one never saw them worshiping at the local
temples.). When Bishop Polycarp was hauled up before the magistrates
in 156 AD, Pollycarp was charged to "adjure the atheists" [meaning the
Christians]. So he looked up at the throng and waved his hand in
their direction "Away with the Atheists."


So then as a militant disciple of the Church of Atheism, alpha-null
is simply following his belief system

Pretty much as I stated.
