→Atheist?
::That still doesn't indicate that KG was an atheist - there's no evidence of him self-identifying as anything other than a goth. He didn't say he was an atheist, nor did his family, the media etc. No source says he was an atheist, so why claim that he was? Hating God doesn't indicate atheism.

:::Hating God also definitely doesn't indicate theism, something you've claimed several times -- many atheists clearly hate God, and hating God seems to be something significantly more common among atheists. I will try to contact Cons soon, and if he agrees with you, he'll remove it. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 12:14, 26 April 2018 (EDT)

::::I've heard, in person, people of various religions (as well as less religious people) express anger and hatred towards God for various reasons. Those two extremely biased sources that you cited on this talk page don't give any evidence that many atheists say that they hate God; you only have the authors' claims that they heard that said by them. Even if there were proof that most atheists have expressed hatred towards God, that still wouldn't show that KG was an atheist. I don't know why you claim that a category can only be removed by the editor who added it - that's not how any online encyclopedia works. The burden of inclusion rests with the editor(s) who want it included. Are there any reliable sources which state that KG was an atheist? No, there aren't - so there's no justification for claiming that he was one. Assigning any religiously or politically based information to a person obviously requires reliable sourcing.
