Every single person in the United States is an atheist, including the most vehement fundamentalist Christian.

Why do I say that? Well, because even the most vehement fundamentalist Christian does not believe in the Greek god, Zeus. There is no rational proof for the existence of Zeus and no one takes his existence on a matter of faith.

If someone said he had faith that Zeus existed, can you imagine the president, the Congress, and millions of American people complimenting him? "He is a man of faith!"

No, they wouldn't do that. They would think he is a lunatic. Yet those same people will applaud someone who says he is a "man of faith" regarding a different god. They will pat him on the shoulder and call him a fine man. In reality, there is no more proof for the Christian god than for Zeus. To say someone is a man of faith is really an insult, because it reveals that this person will believe something without proof, oftentimes devoting his life to something that has no rational or logical basis.

All Americans are atheists for all gods except their own, whether that be Zeus, Hindu gods, pagan gods....They believe only in the god or gods of their particular religion, discounting all other possibilities.

But I am here to tell you that Zeus does exist. Prayers should be said to him in all schools, his name should be in the pledge and stamped on money, he should be recounted in the anthem, Congress should acknowledge him when they are sworn in. People should be applauded when they profess their faith in Zeus. They are men of faith.

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

Earlier people had faith in existence of the sun god; cultures all over the world created hundreds, perhaps thousands of gods. It is a weakness in the human mind. It manifests a need to feel there is something greater than we can see. The problem is, when you profess loyalty to something you cannot see, you are professing loyalty for something that does not exist except as a matter of faith, and Zeus is absolutely as valid as a Christian god.
