Why is it that moronic theists seem incapable of forming the plural of
"atheist"?

Only in response to theists who keep trying to threaten us with the
non-existent critter.

How do you know you don't worship evil? How do you know the Bible wasn't Satan's handiwork?

But the idea now exists in their miniscule 'minds' - maybe they've been lied to all along and the Bible was written by Satan to keep them stupid and uneducated.

They manage that quiet well by themselves, no deities or demons required.

According to whom?  Not your made up deity that makes imperfect human beings and then kills them when they act like what he made.  That imaginary prick?

I can't speak for anybody but myself and I don't worship much, but I certainly do not worship myself. That would require a Norman Mailer sized ego which I don't have.

If there were anything I worshiped it would be our shared humanity, how we are all essentially the same.  We laugh, we cry, we make plans, fall in love, grow old, get married, have kids, and eventually we die.  It doesn't matter who we are or where we come from. It's the same for everybody.  Nobody can resist the smile of a baby.  Nobody sane would ever want to hurt them.   

I worship freedom because it results in a mankind that is the best it can be. Slavery never results in the kind of achievements of free men. Every major advancement in history has been due to somebody having freedom to do what they desired.  In the old days one had to have patrons who pay them to paint their portraits or sculpt their likeness, in order to allow them to paint or sculpt, whatever they felt drawn to.  Now you can go to gofundme, or kickstarter.   Sure some people will not use their minds in the way that is best for them and their brothers and sisters.  You'd have that no matter how little freedom there was.

I also worship the human mind.  The most incredible organ to ever exist.  Responsible for wiping out diseases like small pox, inventing the internal combustion engine which allowed mankind to travel in comfort never before possible except for the very rich.  Airplanes, taking people around the globe in hours not months or years, but hours.  Birth control pills allowing for a sexual freedom that was unprecedented, and a whole lot of fun for those of who grew up in that era, the baby boomers. Shedding old standards if they did not make any sense, relying more on technology. People walking on the MOON! Computers, making these reasoned and well thought out discussions possible.  Proof that when people are not told what to think, but how to think, they are amazing, miraculous, astounding, a triumph of evolution.  

Best of all the human mind happens to reside inside beings who live on an amazing, possibly the most amazing planet in the universe.  There is so much to see and appreciate.  From masterful artwork by some true geniuses, to mountains so beautiful to behold it almost hurts. There's so much of it that it's nearly impossible to see in one lifetime.

Evil is a non-existent religious concept. There is only good, bad and the shades
between.

Sorry, but there is only god and bad or neutral.  If something is a shade in between it is still either good or bad, just more or less so.

God seems remarkably remiss in the "help us" category.

Ah, the dreaded "evil".
How do you know that any person is "evil"?
Evil is being able to think you can wash the slate clean by asking for 
forgiveness from an invisible man instead of making good with the people 
that have been wronged.  So, look in the mirror if you want to see the 
face of "evil".
