That white skinned atheist you sparred with 5, 10, 15, and 20 years ago, was a shapeshifting Ashkenazi or Separdic Jewish Kike from Khazakistan, SyriaPalestina or random place scattered after the Roman and then Hellenic wars scattered them all over the world where the Holocaust and WW2 brought them all to New York, California, Florida and all the other 50 states where they rule the USA the same way they ruled their city-states in Palestine, with a pyramid of shape shifting shot callers and decoy upon endless decoy shouting for attention from the shabis.

Normal people without a Religious background naturally have nothing positive or negative to say about the idea of God. They're simply neutral, which means Agnostic is the default position, any deviation from this "I'm unaware of your Philistinian sand merchant coin clipping operating system" is religion of one form or another.

The Militant Atheist who was telling you not to beleive, was a member of another religion trying to damage their primary enemy. If you say the word talmud around these Atheist Shitheads, they flee in terror. Exposing they're not Atheists, they're Jews.

That's not to Say religion is useless, but that they're manipulation engines, and to have one doesn't make you special, in fact, it makes you less special, because it cookie-cutters you into someone else's rigging.
