No, I'm saying that if someone who had never heard of the CoV or memes
went to the web page stating our core beliefs and saw "the supernatural
does not exist", there is a fair chance that they will disagree because
they think the supernatural does exist, at least in books and movies.
I'm just trying to avoid bad initial reactions.

Which current usage?
