Sure, someone beleives that, but they are just not credible. In short, in the typical campaign, atheist=crackpot.Now the planescape campaign makes the Athar when gods very painfully obviously exist, but it doesn't actually ever call them atheists... because the principle is different. It's not so much that they question the existence of deities, because they DO exist. Rather, they question the role and authority of such beings in the multiverse. To say that gods are not gods seems to me purely an exercise is semantics.</blockquote>
