Let's face it, we've all been addicted to Diablo II. And Diablo III is way more customizable in terms of character development, a.k.a. the core of the game. Now take that, and add a more tactical and thought-provoking combat system, new resource systems, better means of crafting, better vendors, dedicated PvP, and other new systems, Diablo III is shaping up to be one Hell of a game.
Pun intended.
Alas 'cept story wise, but that's another aspect which will go off topic.
But yes Diablo III is looking to be a great game

I didn't state Atheism was a recent development, I'm well aware on how long it existed. What I stated was the "Atheism movement" as in when mass peoples begun to flock towards the concept. Its similarity is that of one like the "women rights movement": people have been advocating women rights for a long period of time dating back to the formation of the United States of America and even Greece but only until the late 1900s did it become prominent (and established) as mass peoples began to flock to it in support.
I may be wrong, but never in history than today have I seen a mass movement/flocking of peoples towards Atheism.
That is true, but as atheism is literally "without god/deity" I would like for it to transcend other than targeting Catholicism or any of its branches.
That's what typically happens when the majority of an entire movement target only a specific religion and its related cousins. Then you have to also take into account about the Catholic/Christian mission to spread influence worldwide, there's bound to be more religious followers unknown to basic facts than there are Atheists/Agnostics to the sheer size of today's population of religious followers. Either way, the poll results are expected given on what we have today.
But I'll take into account my perception of the amount of knowledgeable Atheists/Agnostics were wrong.

Yes deists typically reject supernatural events and any interference with God/Supreme Being. However some deists still believe in the judgement/afterlife, others the concept of soul, and some believing that everything is in accordance with a "Grand Plan" drawn up from God/Supreme Being.
That's one of the wonderful things about deism, there is no set structure and it can easily integrate with one's philosophy without interfering with the strive for knowledge and/or science.
Said concepts drawn from the ambiguity of deism is what I mean when we believe "God is good."
As for the atheist immaturity part, I do not know how to go about that without getting too controversial but I'll give it shot:
It is no question that the Atheist movement only begun just recently (the past 1-2 decades to be exact) and with all movements you have the intellectuals and the sheep, the sheep being "going with the flow" because there's a mass number of people, think of it as a "riot mentality." It may be a little harsh but that's the gist of it.
Aside from online conversations (and even then they are few) atheists in general don't know what the hell they are talking about and keep putting the blame on the Catholic Church, the Bible, etc. without even knowing what "wrongs" they did/have (not to mention all they target is the Catholic Church and its branch-offs, never do I see atheists target Buddhism or Hinduism).
For example, let's look at the Bible. I guarantee that at least 70% of the Atheists in any location (school, neighborhood, city, country, etc.) will most likely have not ridden the Bible or if they have have only decided to target specific passages and not take into account the previous or following verses from it, let alone the chapter.
Now don't get me wrong, ignorance is perfectly fine. It's the fact that people choose to remain ignorant even if they know the resource is right in front of them that really ticks me off.

Faith is defined as believing in the goodness, trustworthiness, reliability, etc. of something, be it a person, concept, or thing, this includes deities such as God or Supreme Being.
Deists still believe in God and believe God is good.

That was the first blow yes. It made me consider atheism as most atheists are just like them, ignorant and well apathetic to learn more information about the controversial issue. I didn't like being associated with the crowd. Though the reasoning is immature it later blossomed into more well-thought out reasoning and some philosophy on my part. What personally made me a Deist was that Thomas Jefferson was a Deist (as were most of the founding fathers of America, not all) and his Declaration of Independence revealed to me that religion and science/strive for knowledge can coexist without the strife we have today.
Well it won't automatically make one a better person, the first part is reading the second part is actually the initiative to use what you read into effect.
Anyways, happy to share

Well 3v3 isn't really a game mode but a map... plus personally I don't believe it's ranked up with SR and Dominion.
But if you want I can add it

That cover scared me

However I would've played through softcore in the first place first due to me wanting to appreciate the story in its fullest without having the frustrations of gameplay weighed down upon me.

When I get more time I will update the "Arguments" section more and add "Classic 5v5" with Dominion in "Game Modes"
Edit: Alright I've just finished updating the OP up-to-date

So skipping over the other posts, I'll just reply to the OP (if that's okay, too late I'm gonna do it anyway).

I was baptized, raised, and confirmed Catholic, however I'm a Deist (I still haven't come out to my parents/family members on my true ideology (so yeah I still attend Catholic church)).
Why did I become a Deist?
Well going through the middle of the Catholic confirmation process I've first became an Atheist due to the gay rights movement and Prop 8 (damnit California). During said issue of Prop 8 I finally decided to read the Bible front and back, Old and New Testaments, and found specific passages I didn't agree with or just plain disliked.
Towards the end of high school I matured (in my humble opinion). In my personal group of friends most were Atheist and the others religious. The ones who were Atheist I realized what I name the "ignorant Atheists" as in they just kind of went along with it. I was fine with it at first but as I began to expand my knowledge about the controversial issue of religion I realized that I wasn't going to have any meaningful conversation with my current friends, so after high school we drifted apart (I'm in contact with like.... two I think?).
I specifically chose Deism because of my English class in Junior year because we were taught a bit about Deism during the middle of the first semester. I was interested and onto further research into it, it seemed like a viable and perfect ideology for me.
As for the Bible, it's a good book. There's a bunch of lessons you can learn from it, however one must read it with an open mind. If you read critically and/or literally into it then you're depriving yourself of its true message. In short, the Bible is a moral book written in an early time period and meant for that time period. This means that there is going to be some writings that don't apply to today's society, but at the same time there are some writings (in fact many) that can apply to today's society and chances are will make you into a better person.

Akali is just so satisfying and fun to play, like a more viable Katarina.
