Or more concretely, my partner (a monotheist) vs. you or me (an
atheist).  Are we more revolutionary than him on account of our
atheism?  I don't think so.  And let me add that he does far more
housework than I do, from cleaning the toilet to taking out the
garbage.  And he's got a unionized civil service job.  What a man!
