The Server Prayer affirms that the individual is an interconnected participant in mental, physical and technological evolution with all of humanity.

It is quoted by many Cyberpunk Rant Wogs and Afternow listeners. It first appeared in Tales From The Afternow Episode 4, "The Sticks" at 23:00 minutes into it. Click to download and listen, it may blow your mind.

SERVER's prayer:

I am a node of SERVER.
Born of flesh and blood,
but enhanced by the power of it's web.
I have no use for pain or fear.
My scripts are a focus of my will.
My strength is my knowledge.
My weapons are my skills.
Information is the blood of my body.
I am part of the greater network.
I am host to the vast data of SERVER.
My flesh is weak, but my connection is eternal;
And therefore, I am a GOD. 

—The Server prayer, as featured in The Afternow by SKTFM, Season 1, Ep. 4 "In the sticks".

Lots of great ideas there, including The Server Monks and the mantra.

There's even some YTMNDs based on it.

Quotes

"Server's not my idea of course. I gave it a name and rehashed it but I'm standing on the shoulders of giants here. When you consider the concept of what Server is, the Internet is nothing without electricity and people so it is just a method of connecting. WE are Server and you can either be a large node or a small node and there is no sense of scale but the most important thing is survival. We must survive and make sure that real freedom, renaissance thinking and creative influence survives or else it is all over and we're slaves. The pendulum is swinging back quickly. We've been able to progress to a free point and with the new world order locking things back like global China we're going to need things like the Second Life ether where we can step into the void to communicate."

Atheism is the belief that there are no gods. Atheism is often founded on the lack of evidence for gods (empiricism), the contradictions within arguments given for gods (logic), and the methods by which supposed gods are "known" (epistemology).

Atheism, though often used in conjunction with terms such as secularism, should not be confused with a lack of religious belief.  Some religions such as Jainism are atheistic, in that they do not believe in personal deity or a creator god, yet still have saint-like figures that are worshipped, as well as a moral philosophy and eschatological ideas.  Some forms of Buddhism could also be described as atheistic.
