- Heya, just thought this needed to be said. :) I notice you've only made a few edits, but you did take the time to create a username, an that means you (probably) care. To that end, I'd like to gently admonish you for editing an article (apparently) without having even read it first. Remember, Reliable Sources is the single number-one rule here, and if you'd read the article you'd have found that several of those document that Jim Jones was, in fact, a declared atheist. It's discussed in several places. It seems that in this case you made a rather understandable but entirely wrong assumption. My advice is to always read an article before making any significant change to it. And check your sources. Having said all that, though, let me also say, welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for your help! Eaglizard (talk) 20:35, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
