Only of the person next to the "bless you" person were non-white. Then it would be a sure bet.

If you want to frustrate an atheist... point out that they have less intellectual freedom than Christians...
A Christian can assign an observation to either a natural or a supernatural cause based on their assessment of the facts... an atheist has no such choice and MUST assign all observations to a 'natural' cause...

I agree (I know, pigs flying). Additionally an atheist is attempting to prove a negative, pretty hard to do.
Frank Cannon:
The Washington Post noted [4]that other speakers include television personality Bill Nye, scientists Lawrence Krauss and Carolyn Porco, comedians Margaret Cho and Julia Sweeney and musicians Killah Priest and Mark White of the Spin Doctors.
Looks like a who's who of d list celebrities from 1992.

Actually, they will argue that it is impossible to prove a negative... which is true... but they likewise have an obligation to prove a positive and cannot escape with the 'impossible to prove a negative' argument.
Their unproven positive is the belief in naturalism... which is likewise impossible to prove...
