Personally, I have nothing against any of these guys, in fact I quite like Hawking.
However, as you are posting this in /sci/ I can only assume that you are trolling.

that would work, but when describing the equation, you don't eliminate c just because your unit system works out to not need it.
The actual units of energy won't match the other side of the equation.

Stars are made up almost entirely of plasma, which is ionized matter, not atoms. There are also stars like neutron stars, and hypothetically quark stars and antineutron stars, that are not made of atoms either.
