Atheism is a Religion
I thought I would resurrect this argument because some relatively recent events seem to support it. Remarkably, an atheist group has stated that it wants to start an atheist church. This reflects a recognition of the power of group organization.
My analysis of the situation is sociological and scientific. When first of all looking at whether any sort of god or Supreme Being is a necessary prerequisite for religion, the answer is "NO". Two groups immediately come to mind - 1) certain prominent Buddhist sects do not believe in any God and certain Reform Jews do not believe in God. There are other factors in play here, and I list them below: 1) Atheists, like religious churchgoers, regularly meet. 2) Atheists, like priests and reverends do, hustle contributions. 3) Atheists, like many religious, are certain of the truth of their views. 4) Atheists, like religious fundamentalists, attribute dishonesty to those who disagree with them. 5) Atheists, like many religious, enjoy cackling in imagined superiority over people who disagree with them. There are a few more conditions atheists and the religious have in common, but even based upon these alone Atheism is a religion. Yep. It is. Embrace the horror. |

A bold attempt to make rational people seem as stupid as religious ones!
Sorry asshole, but atheists don't have a belief system. Atheist = somebody who does not believe in your god. The end! The Leprechauns do not forbid the drawing of Their images, as long as we color within the lines. ~ Ghoulslime H Christ, Prophet, Seer, Revelator, and Masturbator |

If this smarmy, weazely, trolling fool gets into the habit of starting heaps of idiotic shit-stirring threads - he'll soon find himself confined to his personal idiot pen.

Easier than dealing with the issues. Just say "shitlord" and the teenagers will think it hilarious. But don't try to deal with the analysis oh congregants of the Church of the Big Nothing

Facts all. Was not discussing the existence or nonexistence of a Creator. Please try to notice the subject of the discussion. . |

Maybe our Resident Retard has unearthed a plethora of previously unacknowledged worthy religions ....
1) Vegans, like religious churchgoers, regularly meet. 2) Vegans, like priests and reverends do, hustle contributions. 3) Vegans, like many religious, are certain of the truth of their views. 4) Vegans, like religious fundamentalists, attribute dishonesty to those who disagree with them. 5) Vegans, like many religious, enjoy cackling in imagined superiority over people who disagree with them.
