The god of the bible, who made us out of dirt, who drowned the earth, who rained toads on people (or somesuch), and split a sea for a murderous fugitive.
Pretty easy to assert that this god doesn't exist -as th believer takes the phrase to mean, and then demonstrate it...because none of that shit happened.
Simultaneously hilarious, because one does not need to assert that this god does not exist, to disbelieve, or lack belief in it. It plainly and clearly does exist, as a character in a work of fiction - not that this concession would be all that satisfying to the faithful.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
