I'm apparently an atheist, according to someone on the lists, for believing that the gods are above petty crap like raping mortals and cheating on their spouses.

Since when did people start taking the myths so seriously and literally that they actually believe this sort of crap? And believe that people are atheists who have a different take on what and who the gods are?

My respect for certain aspects of the Hellenic community decreases more and more with each time I have one of these crazy conversations on the lists.

I must be an atheist too then. I have never believed in the literal myths, I only believe in the metaphor of them and that each myth has a kernal that can take us deeper spiritually.

Yeah that's rather my take on int.
