Gamer doesn't equal atheist. My friend is obsessed with video games (Mainly Zelda, but she's been getting into Kingdom Hearts lately), and she has a religion (can't remember what it is). I don't believe in Christianity. I believe in the concepts of Shinto and Buddism. Therefore, I'm not atheist.
And I really agree with Arc. For some reason, people like scapegoats. If I die in KH1, it's not because I used Donald as a scapegoat so I can run away just long enough for a healing spell. It's my fault because I likely did see an enemy coming from behind, or I did something extremely careless. Going with the 'Charlie and Marilyn Manson' example, it's not Manson's fault that Charlie shot a kid. Charlie, ultimately, made the decision. Not Manson.
