No it isn't!  An atheist can be a cleric if he wants to be!  That's religious discrimination otherwise :P.

I actually didn't pick a god for my character since I didn't know if we were going to have DF style gods or not.

Urist has been forced to use a friend as fertilizer lately.

You could be a cleric of a Cause, actually. Like... righteousness?

Or a cleric of atheism. That would be cool. In which case the goal of your order would be to displace or destroy the gods.

You'd probably have to be True Neutral or something, though. You'll be after the good gods and the bad gods.

I thought clerics had to get all their powers FROM gods...

That's the point, he's trying to prove clerics don't need the gods, they just think they do.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

They get their powers from something, but not always a god.

Then wouldn't that make them a warlock?

I guess I'll take Dorfl from the Discworld series as my RPing inspiration.  Then again, he needed to be fireproof to protect himself from the lightning strikes.

And no, I wouldn't be a warlock.  I'm still drawing my powers from belief in a cause, just the cause happens to be atheism :P.

Nope. Belief is what matters for Clerics, so if apparently they believe hard enough, it happens.



I've been waiting for an excuse to post that.

Couldn't find a decent image on the first google page, so I went with Athe instead.

Athe would be an interesting god/goddess. Probably cutting him or herself all the time to symbolize the self-destructive nature of her creed's purpose - which is to destroy all creeds.

Ok, so I'm worshipping an emo abstraction?  Fair enough.  Anyway, I'm Lawful Good rather than Evil since I want to end the oppression of the gods and religions.  So from my point of view I'm good.  Or something like that.
