Gee, I was wondering how long it would take you to figure it out. 
Especially in light of the fact that something you did/said had the effect of pushing me over the edge and finally admitting that I was an atheist several years ago, and my continuing to attempt belief was just plain ridiculous. You succeeded in "deconverting" me and now you've deconverted yourself. 
You jokingly called me watching videos made by such people as Christopher Hitchins and Richard Dawkins as having my own (private) "Atheist revival". You started objecting, but only to the "private" part, and would urge me to play them again -- when and where you were around and could see them, and then debate me on them.
As I've said before, I certainly continue to pay homage to Discordia! For one thing, the "Holy Scriptures"
are a sure-cure for despondency, as one cannot help but to ROFLOL while reading the Principia Discordia. It's a sure-fire cure for depression, since it's hard to feel sad and melancholy with tears running down your face from laughter. And, having worked in the computer industry for over a decade in software quality assurance, a discipline which uses Chaos Theory of Mathematics, Discordia is not a matter of belief - I can mathematically show that chaos exists, and empirically demonstrate the forces of Chaos - Eris if you will. In fact, the actions of discord on software can even be reliably reproduced, if it's done properly. Call it the Laws of Chaos. No, Discordianism is not a belief: It's an objectively observable fact, which holds to mathematical principles.
The next thing you can do here is to change your religious views in your profile.
