If the sum of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square on the other two sides, why is a mouse when it spins? (gibberish but makes just as sense as your nonsensical question. Perhaps you ought to try that one again.)
I don't, and atheism is neither a religion nor a belief system and needs no initial capitalisation.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
