I would definitely consider "according to source XX then we don't know
how the universe began" to be an answer.

And that is a better analogy to this context than "We don't know".

main()
int argc;
char *argv[];

The arguments is a nice R touch.

Hmm - digging in memory - shouldn't i be:

main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];

?

It is a different syntax that is perfectly fine.

The default int return type is just ugly.

Combined with <5mlom8-vij.ln1@hurricane.fredriksson.dy.fi> we have now

main(argc, argv)
	int argc;
	char *argv[];
{
	printf("Goodbye, World.\n");

#ifdef ATHEIST
	exit(0);
#else
	return 0;
#endif
}

Can this be agreed upon?

K&R style arguments is a brilliant idea for this!

I suppose the pedants among us might argue for

#DEFINE RITCHIE_LIFE_STATUS 0
  main(argc, argv)
  	int argc;
  	char *argv[];
  {
  	printf("Goodbye, World.\n");

  #ifdef ATHEIST
  	exit(RITCHIE_LIFE_STATUS);
  #else
  	return RITCHIE_LIFE_STATUS;
  #endif
  }

     0 is used as a return code for success.  I think that
EXIT_FAILURE would be a more descriptive return value.

Oh, definitely. Makes it much more reusable.

  	return(0);

So that the newbee thinks return is a function.

Actually, I would just suggest this evil alternative:

#ifdef ATHEIST
#define return exit
#endif

main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
    printf("Goodbye, World.\n");
    return(0);
}

Yes, I can be evil when I want to be.
