Arian Foster for those who don't know is the running back for the Houston Texans, and is a pretty damn big name in football, so it's nice to see someone with a big reputation on the line stand up proudly with their unbelief.

Why is this nice to see? Why do you care what a NFL player thinks about the existence of a god or gods? You all sure behave as if atheism is a religion.

O, Statler, don't be so dim. Ever heard of a role model? Ever heard of smashing stereotypes?
