	* If you are bluffing as the Atheist, be prepared for the players to execute you at some stage. It is rare that any player claiming to be the Atheist will survive until the final day. So, bluffing as the Atheist tends to work best for characters who's ability is already used, such as the {{Evil\|Baron}}, or will be used by the time you die, such as the {{Evil\|Mezepheles}}. If there are characters that can keep the game going after the Demon dies, such as the {{Evil\|Scarlet Woman}} or {{Evil\|Mastermind}} or {{Evil\|Imp}}, then this makes an Atheist bluff easier for the Demon.		* If you are bluffing as the Atheist, be prepared for the players to execute you at some stage.

This is different than trying to convince them that a particular player or group of players is evil, which wouldn't make sense if you are the Atheist. If you can confuse the good team as to what is happening, they may execute the Storyteller in haste, or execute the wrong evil players and let the Demon survive. Either way, evil wins. This strategy works best with characters that can cause a lot of confusion, such as the {{Evil\|Poisoner}} or the {{Evil\|Vigormortis}}.		* The second major strategy to win the game via an Atheist bluff is to convince the good team that the information that they have is inconsistent, that it points to too many players being evil, that it doesn't make sense.

			While setting up the game, before giving the bag to the players, remove all evil character tokens and add Townsfolk or Outsider character tokens to match the player count.

			Break any game rules, as you see fit. Use evil reminder tokens if you need them.

			<div class="example" style="color: #5d2123; font-style: italic; font-family: GoudyOldStyle;">
			The Atheist is a complex character, and is recommended for experienced Storytellers. In addition to rules knowledge, it requires you to have a good sense of fun and fairness. It is your job to create a fun game for all players, so only break the game rules to give false information (as much or as little as you want) or simulate the actions of evil characters that could be in play, but aren’t. If you can convince the players that there is no Atheist in play, or at least get them discussing the possibility, you’ve done well.
			<hr />
			Avoid creating arbitrary rules or changing the win conditions. In order to have a good time, the players need to know how they can win the game if an Atheist is in play.
