I guess that's a theory, though I don't think it will get much traction here (despite, as far as I can tell, that last bit being at least mechanically true, lol). Speaking only for myself, there's no issue of interpretation and it has nothing to do with magic book. I just don't believe in gods. I think to myself, self..do you believe in gods?
Nope.
