Let's all start using the phrase "God-myth" instead of the word "God" from now on

If all of us atheists started saying "God-myth" instead of "God" we might be able to finally change the obsession of our country with religion. This would force believers to have to prove what they are referring to day in and day out. They would have to present objective evidence for their god and for their claim that he gave them the right to rule over society or else continue to hear us say "God-myth" each and every time.

Let's see: "One Nation Under God-Myth:" yeah that sounds about right!

I would think this would make mr. cruz and his theocrat friends start foaming at the mouth and try in earnest to start their next Inquisition

It doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

Well, I think that in many instances, it would be a good idea. I am not sure that it will help. But it will be fun.
