    You're in luck! Here's a quote from Guido: "Maybe my spiritual beliefs shine through here -- I'm a convinced atheist."

    I don't know anything about Ruby's creator, but Larry Wall has always creeped me out too. I sure was happy when Python came along - a sensible language created by a logical Dutchman.

    Python is so 2004. Everyone knows that Ruby is the current language du jour. Yahoo needs to catch up.

    That's true. Once you use Python for a significant amount of time, you find that there are far more annoying aspects of the language than significant whitespace.

    As an atheist, I'd like to stick to a language created by an atheist.

    You are narrowing your options considering who who developed the initial versions of GCC.
