Get it, Interesting Ian?
Re-think your position.........
There is nothing to rethink. If you lack belief in a god, you are an
atheist. It is not a matter of debate.
Well, Interesting Ian....What if "aliens" are YOUR god?
Re-think your position.

Any 'god that is a creator' is not _of_ this world as they had to exist
prior to creating this world. Thus any 'god that is a creator' is, by
definition, an alien.

An illegal alien too, if the "god that is a creator" was not given an
Inter-Galactic Passport by the Galactic Empire "prior" to entering the
quadrant where the illegally created world was created by the "god that is
a creator AND an illegal alien".

Moreover, why isn't Jesus in the house of Lords?

Because Jesus was the son of a "god that is a creator AND an illegal
alien" and that makes Him an illegal alien too!

i was quoting a recent media statement. the suggestion is that more
people lean to the pagan way of viewing the world (expressed typically
as wanting to feel close, or feeling close, to nature and landscape, and
sensing an affinity with them...through to the rarer celebrating the
'spirit of place', special equinox events & etc, even 'worshiping'; a
'supreme being' ) rather than the xtian view. the wicca view is somewhat
bound up with the pagan view but makes use of alleged special energies,
expressed as magick. wicca is becoming rather popular in the UK and US.

Then that is just a metaphore. There's nothing good to be gained from
misapplying such terms. An atheist is anything not a theist, and a
theist believes a god exists.
