Contrary to the popular belief, many atheists don't give a fuck about imaginary friends until someone with an imaginary friend tries to shove theirs up the atheist's ass forcefully.

thatβs why we say βl8r sk8rβ.
Aha, atheists also say "God damn" and "Jesus fucking Christ" and "Good Lord you're a fucking moron, how did you even get in here" a lot. Checkmate, atheists! /s
Would have thought this was made up, but sure enough
good-bye
salutation in parting, also goodbye, good bye, good-by, 1590s, from godbwye (1570s), a contraction of God be with ye (late 14c.)
Interestingly linked
adieu (interj.)
late 14c., adewe, from Old French a Dieu, a Deu, shortened from phrases such as a dieu (vous) commant "I commend (you) to God,"
Now that I think of it, is there an English equivalent for "adieu"? Because French also has "au revoir" which is used more like goodbye, "adieu" carries a meaning of finality, if you say this, you know you will never see that person again, it's quite heavy and not used very frequently at all.
"Farewell" works for that purpose in English. And since you reminded me, that's the meaning of "sayonara" too -- you're not supposed to use it for casual goodbyes.
Atheism doesn't incur some bizarre torture for saying the wrong thing. That's religion.
Does telling someone bless you when they sneeze mean that you believe in a deity or is it just being polite?
im athiest and I don't care. I mean the days of the weeks are largely about pagan things. nordic in particular.
We have so many words that are just expressions turned to words.
Our language is basically the same as the Tamarians from star trek.
This atheist doesn't give a shit. Goodbye!
Okay bye
I just say "bye", the atheist version.
please go refer to this reply I made on anothr person's comment https://thelemmy.club/post/52149120/27607833
Say "so long" instead! Or, just don't give a fuck what believers of unreal things have to believe about you.
Oh god! Aaah!
