COMMENTS:
* There may or may not be atheists, but I for sure don't believe in Si Robertson. He has to be fictional.
* Actually, everyone begins as an atheist; One cannot decide to believe in a God without believing that there may NOT be one.
* I am an atheist. I am real and I am doing just fine thank you. We are all around you. Nothing about christianity is true all made up or stolen from Paganism and Buddhism. I use the calendar because I have to. Religion is the cancer of this earth. I do not pray or ask for the man in the skies help during times of trouble but look within as all Buddhist do Look within for your answers not to some unseen force.
* Why is it so many of you Christians cannot wait for others to be punished? And how is Christ going to "save my life"? ... Please quit embarrassing me (a fellow Okie) with these kind of statements. They only make you look foolish and hardly are going to change the mind of people who have a high enough intelligence to not believe myths. Seems funny your "God of love" has followers so filled with venom and the desire to watch others suffer.
* Many people are "just religious enough" to think they've got their bases covered. I can't count how many times people have responded to my identification as atheist by saying, "What if you're wrong?" To which I respond, "I was just going to ask you the same."
* Didn't realize this program was still on...amazing the valueless TV programming that can entertain the rubes....

Si Robertson, 'Duck Dynasty' Star, Says Atheists Don't Exist
By Ed Mazza, July 7, 2015
There's no such thing as an atheist, according to one of the stars of the reality TV show "Duck Dynasty."
Si Robertson, known to fans of the show as “Uncle Si,” told the Christian Post that anyone who uses the date is acknowledging Jesus.
"There's no such thing as an atheist," Robertson told the website. "I'm serious, because there's too much documentation. Our calendars are based on Jesus Christ. Whether you believe in him or not, every time you sign your calendar, you add down the day's date, you're saying he's here, OK? That's documented."
While the widely used Gregorian calendar introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 uses years based on the approximate birth of Jesus Christ, the names of many of the months and days of the week retain their pagan origins. March, for example, is named for Mars, the Roman god of war. Tuesday is based on Tiu or Tiw, the Germanic god of war.
Robertson, a Vietnam War veteran, also cited a variation of the maxim, "there are no atheists in foxholes," claiming that people turn to faith when they are in trouble.
"If you get in a serious bind, the first thing you'll do is say [God], please help me," Robertson told the website.
Robertson is promoting the film "Faith Of Our Fathers," which is about two men who served in the Vietnam War, one of whom is devout while the other is a skeptic.
Skeptics, apparently, do exist.
"There's a lot of skeptics," Robertson said.
The movie focuses on the two men as well as their sons, who meet years later. According to IMDb, Robertson has a role in the film as a gas station clerk.
"Faith Of Our Fathers" currently has an 11 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on nine reviews, and a score of 20 on Metacritic based on five reviews.
