to be an atheist in our religious society, which requires belief in Set Theory just to get a job?

I think all undergraduate Mathematics students learn it (I certainly did), so its basic concepts and notation are a well-known body of knowledge, more so than other branches of pure mathematics and logic (which you don't study unless you specialize in it). Therefore I think it is useful to us computer people.
if everyone eats crap, then it must be delicious.
