A lack of religious belief is agnosticism, atheism is an active or conscious disbelief or rejection of deity. You can not be an atheist without a conscious choice concerning whether you believe in anything or not. A baby can not be an atheist unless it’s some kind of crazy genius-baby that has already developed the ability to make said decision for itself.

I’m sorry, but that is incorrect, sir. Atheism does NOT have to be a conscious choice to reject theism. Atheism is exactly what the word means. “A-Theism” means “Without Theism” or “non-theism”.
Which means, if you lack the belief in a deity... then you are an “A-theist”.
A religion is noted by an organization. If there is an Athiest organization then technically it’s a religion. Otherwise most consider it a philosophy, seeing that it directly translates into the disbelief of a god and superior omniscient being.

Modern Atheism is a branch of sciences, skepticism. If you are skeptical about everything and do not believe anything till you see evidence, it will lead you to become a athiest. So is being skeptical about everything a religion... you’re right its not.
-edited-. dont mix atheism with science just to hide the fact that its a belief in that there is no god. keyword belief.
So babies have a belief in no god.. yea ok...
babies aren’t atheist. they’re unaware of the idea of a God.
--- Theory is not a guess or hunch. A theory is a logical, self-consistent model. I am a theory. I’m logical and self-consistent about eradicating religion. Um. I guess a theory is a hunch because I’m a hunchback. In fact, I am the hunchback of Notre Dame. It’s ten cents a ride.

I just covered this in my above post. Don’t speak if you have nothing to contribute.
