Because one lie exposes another - better to have the manufactured assent of all than be forced to confront one's own superstitions because of a few flies in the god ointment. There's a bunch of stuff like that, including the "you can't know there are no gods" song and dance. Failing to establish that there are, all evidence to the contrary, the faithful reach for a consolation prize. A ludicrous stopgap in accepting the intellectual paucity of their belief in super pixies by any name.
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!
