Atheism didn't use to mean people
who deny the existence of god or gods
(they were so rare, the real deniers of the divine),
but who declared the disinterest of these beings
towards humanity and individual humans.
Our modern entertainment industry, with
its gods and angels reduced to aiding
human beings in their so ordinary difficulties,
continues a very old tradition of comforting
the religious that supernatural beings
do care about them. It's a lie that cuts
the supernatural down into human size,
and tells the religious they are not
so different or farm from their gods.
