Seriously, that's all it is. Atheism is a "none" stance. There is no real need to express it, no need to show it. The best way to be an atheist is to be, well, a person. It need not define you, nor anything about you. Best thing to do is to read into religion, and study it and its effects on society at large, and how it affects others. Take as neutral a stance as you can, one without bias, and examine the world around you.
Even if this is satire, that is still advice I would give you regardless of who you are and what your views are.
I would agree with most of that. The only thing I would like to add is the way he talks about God. In his post, he talks as if he is trying to piss off a guy that is listening. Like making your girlfriend jealous. Being an Atheist is not being mad at God. You don't believe in a God to be mad at. Get it?

The problem is I don't know which god to start believing in. Plus I'd have to go out and buy lots of pastel nylon shirts and flares from Primark. I think I've got some plastic sandals though, somewhere.
The hindu ones look the coolest! I would pick them. The one's with lots of arms look like they could put Jesus on his almighty ass!
