but as one trying to understand him, I think this use of the word "atheist" could well be a case of the common misinterpretation of the guys words. We only get western news agency type translations here I think. I'll add an insightful article link from CounterPunch that is interesting about the interpretations we hear. My current speculation is that he might well mean that our leaders do not actually follow the teaching of (their own) god (though claiming to) and therefore ungodly behavior results. IMHO
