Spike, I have already covered this subject earlier this year. Or maybe 
previous year.

The atheistic credo comes in few different forms, but they all converge to 
something like this:

"There is No (Not), a Supreme Entity"

or

"There is No, God"

or

"There is Not, a God"

>From this I proved that atheists worship No (sometimes also called Not).

I am apalled, apalled that nobody reads my machiavellian and genious 
explanations. If you did, your mind would stop wandering around bonobos 
and you would know that the naming battle went quite well for you :-).

However, you are a bit handicapped sometimes - like, in a critical moment 
you will have to cry loud "Oh No!". I guess this isn't what your 
Significant Other would like to hear.
