but I can say this Jesus ≠ Religion, i.e. respecting Jesus ≠ being Religious. Jesus was totally not religious; he thought Religion was all a big joke.

Well that's something else entirely. You can believe in God and still find a lot of organized religious organizations are corrupt as shit throughout their history.
As for Atos, didn't know that.

While I agree that hating on people simply for being Christians is lame (whereas hating on the concept of a god is a healthy philosophical practice), it has to be said that atheists have historically endured a lot more suffering at the hands of Christians, and probably still do.

The acknowledgment in his book mentions being "born again" and his introduction describes himself as being raised in a Catholic family but finding God later in life. This sort of language is often associated with evangelical Protestantism, which has been growing lately in traditionally Catholic countries in the Americas.

There is a William Gibson series of books (Spook Country, Zero Hour) that uses Volapuk as a code for communications between Russo-Cubans who do parkour and smuggle things around the U.S.
It's the only reason why I know it exists.
