I suppose that most of us are familiar with Poe's Law http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Poe%27s_Law
The good people at Landover Baptists have discovered an alleged variant of the law.

Bo's Law In Detail:
Bo's Law relates to Atheism and the difficulty of identifying legitimate Atheists and their organizations because it is so hard to tell fake Atheism from the real thing. The law also works in reverse because as Christians, we know in actuality, there is really no such thing as "Atheism." So in fact, "real Atheists" can also be indistinguishable from "fake Atheists" because there are people and organizations who claim to be Atheist, while we know that is quite impossible, since there is no such thing as a real Atheist. All sane and rational people believe in God, whether they deny it or not. The Bible says that people who say there is "no God" are "'ivveleth (ihv-vel-LETH)" which translates to "mentally insane" (Psalm 14:1) Thus, people who claim to be Atheists are suffering from a mental delusion that can be cured in many cases by steadfast prayer, and/or mild electro-shock therapy coupled with approved medications prescribed by an authorized Christian Psychiatrist or experienced Pastor.
The article also contains a quiz
Three of the following seven web sites are examples of “Bo’s Law,” while the others are serious attempts by mentally deluded people or organizations who really think they are Atheists!
I found the article rather entertaining, particularly the reference to the Secular Web.
