Great message. One grammar problem though; Shouldn't it be "Everybody is somebody's atheist" since only the "somebody's" is possessive?

Oh yes. So well-said. We should always understand that.

I think you'll find that "everybody is" is also contracted as "everybody's". The apostrophe's used in more than one way (see, there's an example right there ;))

Well, I suppose it isn't grammatically incorrect. :)

I still prefer "Everybody is" though to remove the otherwise ambiguous confusion of whether the " 's " implies possession or a contraction. I naturally read "apostrophe's" as a possessive until I note the context. So while it isn't grammatically incorrect, it has always been recommended to me in grammar courses to avoid these contractions since the "default interpretation" for most people is "possessive."

I feel like a dork right now. :blush:

We all make silly mistakes. :D Me, I've never had a problem with identifying the type of apostrophe. I always see the correct meaning of the 's straight off without puzzling over the sentence structure. I suppose different people have different ways of reading and recognizing words.

Yep, the grammar is poor, but this is Art! :D It just doesn't roll off the tongue very well when its grammatically correct.

Thanks for the help,
