@acrovader I consider myself a radical atheist. You're right, I have absolutely no time for religion in any of its guises. The fact that Christians and Muslims fight like cat and dog when they believe in the SAME god is a source of constant amusement. The world would be a better place without any of it.
fun fact: spike milligan was actually on holiday when this was filmed, and he met cleese by accident. he was put in just to follow the rest of them, but being spike milligan, he turns this scene into something better. im sure hardcore LOB fans would have known ;)
@soldierside365: Quite true. Milligan was visiting 2nd World War graves in Tunisia (where LOB was filmed) while paying respects as part of a holiday, and simply happened to bump into the Pythons. The final walk off-camera is pure Milligan.
@acrovader Atheism isn't a religion. It is simply the lack of religious belief, or specifically the belief in a deity. Atheism doesn't promote any set of values, beliefs, etc. There is no such thing as "fundamental atheism", as atheism has no fundamentals besides the disbelief in a god. Yes, there are people who are strongly against religion and may be militant, but those are specifically called anti-theists. Anyone can interpret different religions how they please.
@Dezzreck can one have "disbelief" in an abstraction? when asked why i don't believe in a prime mover, i ask, would you put your faith in Russel's teapot?
Just brilliant!

I'm sick of people saying atheism is a religion. It is not a religion. However, it is a faith.

@DrugProwlingWolf You sure have a warped and twisted view of Christianity. If there is ANYONE that is bigoted and intolerant, it is YOU.
