As a confimed athiest myself, I have no issues with the word "gospel", 
although it has many meanings, I don't see any real religious overtones 
using the way we're using it here.

If you're on about the writings of people going on about the bloke who 
alledgedly got nailed to a tree ~2000 years ago, it's usually capitalised.

You'll be winging about holy wars (cf. vi vs. emacs) next ;-)
