A lot of atheists believe in God in the way that they realize there's a "force" above us all since not even bleeding edge science can explain certain things.
As a matter of fact by accepting the notion of "infinitum" science is submitting to God's will.

If my manga source is screwed up and they kept the Japanese name, THEY are to blame.

The plot flows very well and the characters are interesting. Can't say I agree with the main character's (not the good guy, of course) out look on things such as "Cleaning up the Earth." That makes him like a juvenille Hitler.
I will keep reading though. It's very interesting. May I use this oportunity to ask which you find handles the plot better, the manga or anime?

I suppose had he not found the book, he might simply have become the sort of garden variety sociopath that manages to make a decent career for himself. However, I think his disregard for, or inability to empathize with, human life long predates any contact with Ryuk. The Death Note simply gave a potential monster the means to seek his ends.
