"Indian Christian dancers appear immune to obesity" What about Indian Hindu dancers, Indian Muslim dancers, Thai Buddhist dancers, atheist Russian ballerinas? By their very nature professional dancers are slender and follow rigorous regimes to stay in shape. Unless you're claiming that Jillette is also a professional dancer, your analogy fails.

- Also, the picture you show of the Indian Dancer - she's Hindu, not Christian. That's misrepresentation on your part.TracyS 11:25, 18 July 2011 (EDT)

There is no such thing as atheist culture
Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity. There is nothing else that atheists have in common that could encompass a "culture". There are liberal atheists and conservative atheists. Well educated atheists and uneducated atheists. Sporty atheists and non-sporty atheists. Atheists who use profanity and those who do not. In fact you could take virtually any personal characteristic and you will find atheists on either side. Lumping atheists together in any respect other than the lack of belief in a deity indicates a misapprehension as to what the term atheist means.
