I Hate You, Jared Padalecki. (Not really.)

Ha! Amy, that was beautiful.
Does Dean describe himself as atheist at any point? I mean, with that precise word?
Not specifically with that word, as far as I know.
At this point is there any chance Dean is an atheist, rather than thinking God is a dick?
Someone on IO9 is saying that if Dean fought demons (and vampires and shapeshifters--but that makes no sense) he can't be atheist.
I said that by S2 demons are still new to him, and he does believe in gods, but he doesn't attribute divinity to any of the "gods", just superpowers.
S4, he accepts that there is a Christian god, so I guess he can't be atheist anymore, but he's certainly not a worshipper. He just concedes his existence.
And that's not a new concept: believing in God but not having faith in Him, doubting His intentions or reliability or interest. After I gave up on the church and religion, I never gave up on the idea of something out there, but never thought that it was benevolent or invested in my well-being.
The person is saying that Show doesn't understand what atheism means. But I just can't remember Dean calling himself an atheist.
In my memory, Dean never said that word. I do remember him being dubious in that fake angel ep, and again when confronted with what Castiel said he was. Or, maybe not dubious, but adamant about their lack of existence, which I guess would mean atheist in a Catholic/Protestant sense.
I mean, seems clear he knows gods exist, he just didn't believe the Judeo Christian one existed. Is that an atheist position? And he doesn't seem to think the gods whose existence he knows of have anything special about them that separates them from a vampire, et al.
