One of the major points in deciding that the existence of deities is to be irelevant is that that those who chose so take the responsibility. There's no more excuses, there's no upper hand whom you can blame when you fail, it's just you against the universe, with the rest of your kind on your or other side. How you fare is your own doing

In brief, it is, IMO - I say "there may be none or there may be some, I don't mind whether there are any or none", and you say "there is one and only one". I really don't find this important.

>>the whole question of their existence in general is unimportant for me. The only way that this question matters to me is through its influence on people - i.e. why do we talk about it, and if the question was eventually answered this way or another, which group of people would become harder to live with.

>I suppose we talk about this )in the general sense of humanity) because there is a need to so do. There's no question that this need is universal and consistent, by virtue of all the various and assorted methods man has devised to assuage this god.

Thanks for excluding me from humanity.
I am offended now.
