Bible says that atheists do NOT exist.

Atheism is a belief system, so it is a religious view.

I don’t see it that way. In my experience, the atheist argues against the existence of God. While this is technically a belief as are most thoughts, it’s primarily a rejection of thoughts held by others. Atheists assert the non-existence of an intangible concept experienced and shared by others.

Atheists are idiots.

An atheist cannot exist without one who professes to believe in God.

Never underestimate the ability of hucksters to find a flock to fleece.

I wonder as I wander out under the sky,
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die.
For poor orn’ry people like you and like I...
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.

When Mary birthed Jesus ‘twas in a cow’s stall,
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all.
But high from God’s heaven a star’s light did fall,
And the promise of ages it then did recall.

If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing,
A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing,
Or all of God’s angels in heav’n for to sing,
He surely could have it, ‘cause he was the King.

—collected and additional lyrics written by John Jacob Niles

There’s no reason for you to be offended by my remarks.

Have you heard of Sam Harris? He's probably the most renowned of the currently active anti-theist intellectuals. He regularly infuriates the left by attacking Islam, believing it to be a greater threat to women, reason, and modernity than Christianity.

Well old Sam has that right, sort of like the blind squirrel or the stopped clock.

For the same reason Civil War re-enactors will call themselves an “army” even though they have no bullets.
