Ironic spam in my blog's email

In my blog's email (atheistpnet@yahoo(dot)com) there was this highly ironic spam.

(Dear Truly God sent)


Please excuse this humble email if it offends your sensibilities, but I have
no other means to contact you. I cannot talk on the telephone, so I did a
search for your email address, which I found on the international business
directorate email data search. I am Mrs Barbara Brown, 52 years old woman, A
Christian widow who is dying of oesophageal cancers.


Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last for the period of Seven
Months due to cancer problem, Yes I have been touched by God to donate an
amount of money Inherited from my late husband Smith Brown to you for the
good work of God on Charity" People in the Street and Helping the Orphanage
which my husband derived this money from his vast Estates and Investment in
capital market, I decided to WILL/donate the sum of USD$8.5 Million to you 30
Percent of the total money is for your personal use While 70% of the money
will go to charity" people in the street and helping the orphanage.
I will give you the contact of Bank Manager for the releasing of the specific
amount, my personal Referrence Number Law/WILL/ 9834520012. I will appreciate
your utmost honest in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don't
want anything that will jeopardize my last wish.
With Regards,
Mrs. Barbara Brown


The funny thing about all of this is that this is exactly the way religions work: They make big promises in an attempt to screw people over. Whoever sent me this bogus email would love nothing more than to suck my bank account dry. I would be willing to bet that the person that made this email is not an atheist. Not saying all atheists are perfect, but statistically it is much more likely that that is the case. This is a great metaphor, and sadly, many gullible people, like with religion, buy into the scam, and are sucked dry spiritually and financially by someone making big empty promises. I would be curious as to know the % of believers that fall for email scams vs. atheists; in other words, how many atheists fall for these scams vs. believers.
