one less god than a Christian

[juldea]

Just had to share this one: "It has been pointed out that most believers are atheistic with respect to rival pantheons, and that an atheist merely believes in one less god than a Christian."

From one of the comments to this rather good read: An Athiest Manifesto

Is that so terrible?

I'm not an atheist (though people who believe in biblical god might be hard pressed to see the distinction), but I don't believe in an afterlife of individual consciousness. We live on in the memories of those we touched, and the legacy of our deeds.
