I hope you gentleman all know that Jesus Christ was the first atheist. You should all take after his morals.

Paul's writings were a subversion. There is someone else on these forums that can explain it better.

Paul never met Jesus, his only claim to fame was a supposed 'vision' that he had in the hot desert sun.... yadda yadda his writings aren't really akin to what Jesus meant... or what people bleive Jesus meant... in fact there actually more people than I thought who reject Best Friend Sha'ul.

I am aware of the concept, though in terms of say mainstream protestant Christianity I find it rather lacking.

My point was Christ means 'anointed one' and it's connotation carries with it a religious anointing.

Jesus prayed to his father in the Garden of Gethsemane before being arrested by the Romans. I really don't think he was atheist.

Christ is the Greek rendering of the Hebrew word Messiah.

Cyrus was called God's Messiah.
As was David.

Seems incredibly biased since it focuses on protestant and catholic followers -_-.

If he was an atheist, he certainly wasn't the first. Diagoras has him beat by a fair bit, for instance.

Makes no mention specifically of religions and seems to focus on Catholicism and Protestantism.
