Of course it is. Atheism is a belief that God doesn't exist.

Actually, not so dumb.

RIP.

Which one is right, though? More quickly, quicklier or quicker in USA English?
Quicklier - not really a word but it would be a useful one!

Quicker - commonly used in this sense nowadays, but as it's describing an action (verb) rather than a thing (noun) an adverb phrase is needed, which is:-

More quickly.

Yes, I've seen that one used the most. I tend to use quicklier (in verbal communication only, of course) because it started as a joke and now I got used to it. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Thank you for your reply. <3

Oh? Why? I think it is said the net energy of the universe is zero.

Many people say lots of stuff. It is great for my taxes if my business expenses give me a zero net income, but that doesn't mean there has been no cash flowing in and out of my business. Question though, how long is it posited that this positive and negative energy existed which cancels each other out resulting in this zero net energy? I think you'll find it matches [A] above.
