i count 17 on wiki; heard elsewhere that there are 20+

what are they?

Atheist is simply without religious dogma. No matter what children these days think.

Yes you can know or believe in a god or many. Or be an animist for that matter and be atheist. Just ask the mantis shrimp.

>Certain species of the Mantis Shrimp have 16 distinct classes of photoreceptors in their eyes, human have 3. Each eye is positioned on an independently moving stilt and is capable of trinocular vision and depth perception (i.e., each eye is divided into three regions for tracking motion, forms, depth, and colour).

>>For example, my favorite animal is the sloth because it's cute

Thats a stupid reason. I mean Panda bears are somewhat cute too, but they deserve to die out because they are FAIL in animal form.

Cool Taxa are spiders and ofc insects.

But the best, coolest mindboggingly awesome animal is no doubt the MANTIS SHRIMP!
ALL HAIL THE MANTIS SHRIMP!

The all mighty MANTIS SHRIMP can see in the UV and Infrared part of the spectrum,obviously he can also perceive visible light.
He has two eyes but each one in itself has depth perception. But if that would not be awesome enough ... nooo the all powerful MANTIS SHRIMP can also detect circular polarised light... over the whole for him visible spectrum. Why ? Because the incredible MANTIS SHRIMP spits on the laws of physics. (If you want to know how he achieves this, research it for yourself its just too awesome for me to write down (and i'm lazy))

Also he has some really advanced killing FISTS that can shatter other crustaeans and all kind of armored animals.

The MANTIS SHRIMP is sooo awesome it is believed that, when it gets just a tiny bit more awesome it will die out from pure awesomeness!

My wife. Games.

Well it would destabilize our entire solar system causing planets to be sling shotted out into the universe and some to fly into either of the stars. Most definitely earth would be royally fucked because even if 1 planet goes out of line ours will too. We'd either freeze to death or burn to death.

This is of course assuming we could do such a thing without blowing up the sun.

It isn't necessary with us being able to use human cells that are grown in lab. However lab animals do have other useful purposes. Like studying their brains in action, experimenting with their genetic code, injecting them with nano-bots and sending them through mazes for shits & giggles.

Here I was just kicking ass in the ocean then some jackass makes a religion thread on /sci claiming his religious sect out of 36000 of a certain religion type out of 100 million religions in the world is the right one. How arrogant can you be? Seriously?
