I know this was addressed to Kevin, but I'm a rude bastard, so I'll chime in.
Seriously, who the fuck are you to tell anyone whether they are or are not an atheist? ALL that is required to qualify someone as an atheist is that they lack belief in gods, full stop. It doesn't mean eschewing anything with a religious background or connotation. I'm going to assume that you're a USian (if not, my apologies in advance). Does that mean you don't buy or sell anything? Last time I looked, US currency had the words 'In God We Trust' on it.
Do you ever use the words 'Wednesday', 'January' or 'enthusiastic'? Have you ever read a 'bulletin'? Ever make or use a 'template'? All of these words have their origins in religion.
Kindly get off your high horse and stop telling other people what THEY believe.
Have a happy Christmas, douche nozzle.
