Recently in a small circle of friends I referred to TIME and this related affair; and the consensus of opinion was that yours is an atheistic medium, pure and simple, sponsored by and for the purpose of promoting Atheism, hence your placing me - and others no doubt - in direct communication with these professed and confessed, so-called "Truth Seekers," thereby causing them to release a batch of atheistic literature.
