* DebatingNames: It's revealed that the sole reason why the three largest atheist factions in the distant future are warring against each other is due to a widespread disagreement on how to name the unified faction that would bring them together, as each one wants to name it after their own legion: Unified Atheist League (the name of the first faction), United Atheist Alliance (name of the second), or Allied Atheist Alliance (name of the third). Cartman (who is trapped in this future era) tries to settle the conflict by doing a time-travel phone call to Ms. Garrison (who, along with Richard Dawkins, had turned atheism into a global mandate in the first place) and ask for her opinion on the matter, but he's answered by Dawkins instead and inadvertently informs him that Ms. Garrison had transitioned gender, which makes him feel uncomfortable and leave Ms. Garrison. This changes history, [[ForWantOfANail erasing all the events that led to the episode's story]].
