thelearnedsoldiertoo:dndcharacterideas: epicdndmemes: Problem Solved This typically how I play atheist. I’ve played characters that have literally met gods and still refused to pray to them. Atheists in settings with “gods” are basically just people who decided “those fuckers aren’t gods. We have records of them getting stabbed to death. Bitches are just really powerful magical assholes. If I wanted to worship a powerful magical asshole I’d go to the brothel.” See, the problem with that is: where did you get the idea that “being a god” and “getting stabbed to death” are mutually exclusive? More importantly, where did this character get that idea, especially in a world where being stabbed to death is a thing that can happen to gods, and historically has?“If they’re mortal / vulnerable, they’re not worthy of worship” is … well, sure, I can see someone deciding that. But who in that world would define “god” in such a way as to exclude literally every being ever called a god by anyone?You don’t get ‘your god is not a god’ from atheists. You get 'your god is not a god’ from monotheists. (And from atheists who learned the definition of god-ness from monotheists.) -- source link
