That is a very good (and rather interesting) thesis, my son! Well done, actually. I'll have to remember this.

Why is your God more reputable then those of Greeks?
The ancient Greeks believed in "many gods", they are polytheists. Their gods have human traits and have human bodies. They express rage, anger, sadness, and jealousy.
The three monothestic religions are : Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Not many people know this, but all three religions believe in the same God but have different perspectives of Him and follow different Books.... also all these Books (Gospels, Quran, Torah) came from the same God. I believe that the monthestic religions are more reputable than any other because they all believe in ONE GOD.

Yes. In fact, Christians were the original "Atheists", so called by the Ancient Romans for not believing in the Roman gods.

No.
I personally believe in the Mother God Azna (I call her Melandru) and the Father God Om (otherwise known to Christians as Jehova)
I also believe in Pan and Artemis.

The base of the word athiest comes from the Greek:
"a" = no, "theos" = god.
...meaning a belief in NO god.
So, since Christians DO believe in God, the answer is NO.

The funny thing is, the Christian god IS one of the Greek gods (in part at least). It incorporates aspects of both Bacchus and Zeus (in addition to Horus and YHWH).

Technically paganist are henotheistic, or people who believe in many or all gods. Since we worship on god then really we worship a god so we a specified group of paganist. So like the Hebrews were not monotheistic they believed in God but they also recongnized other gods. Now, Christians believe in only one God. Therefore we are not athiests but we believe only in one of many gods according to paganists.

christians, by and large, have no idea what atheism actually means.
Fireball2 just proved my point. She has such a hateful (and incorrect) idea of what atheism means, she cannot answer answer your question directly. All she can do is spout her own beliefs. Pretty pathetic actually.

I'll make it easy for you. if someone believes in (a) supreme
being(s), god(s) and/or goddess(es) they aren't atheist.
