How can one be an atheist in a fantasy setting when gods are doing
miracles everywhere one looks? Of course your setting may differ and
the question may not mean anything vis a vis this particular character
but I have seen people simply ignore all the deities in a D&D campaign
and I wonder how they think their character can do it. I'm an athiest
myself but my characters in fantasy games have the reality of the gods
shoved in their faces and I have no problem playing deists.
