When you think about it, every person is an atheist of one sort or another. We're atheists when it comes to Zeus (most of us, anyway), or other ancient gods whose names have either been forgotten or absorbed into the worship of other deities. Every time you say "this god and not that god," you're declaring a kind of atheism.

I ditched them all decades ago.

As for the yam, he is a very devoted follower of Mammon.
