Mind you, I'm an atheist living in what's apparently my country's most statistically agnostic city area and I tend to be more than a little cynical and burnt-out after listening to too much Xmas music in the shopping areas by the end of the year, so YMMV. |
I do have the Discworld book. I'm an atheist too, but I don't live in the US, so I don't get that amount of exposure.
