Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see
info box)
Ensure atheism-related articles are members of
Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.
Try to expand stubs. Ideas and theories about life, however, are prone to generating
neologisms, so some stubs may be suitable for deletion (see
deletion process).
State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.
I think something got translated badly from the Russian here. The relevant source is in Russian so I can't read it. But I'm pretty sure that's not what it means.

Last words
Can someone put in simple English the meaning of "What gods do the gods believe in?"?--

You mean can someone explain the phraze or put the phraze more simply than the actual words spoken? Are you suggesting that instead of the direct quote, we explain the quote or put it in different words? The quote is, presumably, in reference to his atheism and his being intriqued by the idea that gods might also believe in gods, presumably at the end. --

No, I just wanted to know exactly what he meant. Thanks!--

Was he an atheist or wasn't he?
Was he Jewish or was he an athiest? This article says he was both... confusing.

In Russia rightly or wrongly Jews are considered as an ethnicity rather than a religion. Ginzburg was prominent as an atheist and a fighter against all types of clericalism. He also was a member of Jewish cultural and ethnic organizations. He certainly self-descibed his ethnicity as Jewish. I do not know how is better describe him, I personally usually avoid arguments whether Jews are religion on nationality

Jews are both, and there is no contradiction between being Jewish and being atheist. See
Yuval Ne'eman and
Steven Weinberg as yet another examples of self identified Jews who are atheists.--
