I think that it would be an unsaid understanding if that. If anything the conversation wouldn't come to religion and if it did it would be politely and subtly steered away.
For example my character is a Triunist, but more as an association than as a belief. If someone SA, VE or whatever demanded upon my beliefs he would simply say that the Triun is what it is and move on to issues that mattered to him, like spilling monster blood.
(off topic: obama's re election chances are slim? Pray tell who has a real chance beating him? Mitt,pawlenty, bachmann? The GOP candidates are a who's who of unelectable characters. Truthfully if I had to pick a republican I'd say Ron Paul. And if I had to pick who had the best chance, scarily enough I would say bachmann... )
And I think what glaumring was referring to is that atheists make tv/alcohol/sports/science/art/whatever their god. Which isn't entirely untrue.. In a sense... I guess...
