While I am not personally an atheist, this was the only religion-centered community I could find to post this article, and surely we polytheists and atheists can find a united purpose in condemning monotheistic bias.

    Yahweh is just an old Hebrew word for “god”, but it’s a lot better than saying “God” in English, because it’s specific. It places the word within an appropriate cultural context and doesn’t carry the same subtext in English. Nobody today believes in another Yahweh, so it isn’t stepping on anyone’s toes. It’s a much better nickname.
