I think that counts.
Well, I've been in a lot of forums with the religious. It's pretty safe to say that NONE of them believe in the same things, so they're all atheists in one form or another.
Some believe every word of the bible. Others believe that some of the stories are fictional, but inspirational. Some don't believe in the Old Testament at all. Some think that god looks like us. Some believe that god has no form. Some believe that god intervenes on our behalf from time to time, while others think that god kickstarted then universe and walked away.
It's hard to fathom how religions even got off the ground - must've been a miracle.

There is an ALLLL-knowing, ALLLL-powerful, inVISible being who is everywhere, who created the WHOLE universe, who lives in another dimension called heaven, who is perfect in every way, who was never born and will never die, and who watches you every minute of every day (even when you're squeezing one out on the toilet). There are also unicorns, leprechauns, Santa Claus, an Easter Bunny, and a giant purple people eater.
JUST BELIEVE IT!
