I'd like to know how atheism is a class struggle too, actually?
Further, you say you "have pointed out how incredibly stupid it would be to deny the existence of gods when a god can be anything or anyone, and I can only assume that Atheists are sensible enough not to formulate their beliefs and lifestyle based upon their own perception of someone elses mythology." First, what exactly do you mean that a god can be anyone or anything? And why is it stupid to deny the existence of gods because of that? It's not obvious to me, I hope you can explain.
As for "Atheists" (I would not give it the capital A), I don't know any that do what you claim. I don't live my life a certain way because my one friend believes in Jesus Christ as the son of God (Or at least, I perceive that he believes this) and because another friend thinks that Christ was only a Prophet. I think it's a bit hypocritical of you to prescribe atheists their beliefs, while at the same time you bemoan the way religion has misrepresented the Bible, and I get the feeling that you believe that your interpretation of the Bible is the right one.
Can you explain a bit more your position because I don't really understand the... backing for it, maybe.
