Many worship money. Some worship football teams, me for instance. I used to worship Kate Bush but that's another matter.

Since when has the word worship been exclusive to your imaginary friend? At least money, football and Kate Bush exist.

Just as atheist is a word so is worship. No bugger has the monopoly on either.

When I signed up to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in order to take the piss out of the monitoring forms I have to declare in my work, a friend said it isn't real and as I was baptised as a baby I am a Christian. Bollocks. I signed up of my own free will which makes me a real pastafarian. Albeit one who believes the silly bits as much as an intelligent person who claims to be Christian does..
