Online Predator: Atheism = Religion
Is “bald” a hair color?
Is “not collecting stamps” a hobby?
If you no longer believe in Santa Claus, do you call yourself an “Anti-Santa-Clausian?"
Is there some doctrine you follow pursuant with your non-belief in the existence of the tooth fairy?
Atheism is a lack of belief in any god.
Religion is defined as the following -
a)the belief in a supernatural controlling power, esp. in a personal God or gods entitled to obedience and worship.
b)the expression of this in worship.
c)a particular system of faith and worship.
Not to be confused with Atheism which is not a belief in the opposite, but a lack of belief.

Anyway, I find Atheism more of an ideology than a religion. I find religion just to be the belief in god, not the non-belief.
Oh I can be when you act like Itachi.

A disbelief in any god. How the hell can that be considered a belief system. Atheism is the opposite of religion a opposite of a belief, the the lack of one. Do you belief there are pink untageable, invisible unicorns following you and everyone else around, if not that must be class as a belief system too.

It would be closer to ideology then religion, its just the fact that we are not convince that any gods exist.

Oh but you do believe. You believe that there are no gods. It could be put in the way that you disbelieve in gods, but then again I could put Theism as disbelief that there are no gods now couldn’t I?
Besides, I thought “everyone was Atheist” according to you.
Also, if I can compare any belief to any other belief (God and Santa Claus), I guess that means it’s fair to compare any form of disbelief to any other form of disbelief, such as Atheism and not believing the world is round, because there’s no evidence for either now is there (don’t give me that fall back on your ass bullshit about the burden of proof, because I’ve explained why it’s on a neutral not a convienient atheistic sopolist negative for those such as yourself, there’s no real evidence God doesn’t exist, just like there’s no real evidence the world isn’t round, so I guess it’s fair to compare... well... at least by your logic and respect, or lack of it).

No, sean, you are lost in this belief non belief system which people have been trying to mix together for years. If I where to say the world is not round after all the evidence that is produce before me, I would be laught at. But if I was to say there is no evidence that the earth is flat, then I would be making a correct statement.

I agree with you Gplex, this double-negative stuff is getting very old.
Although now, because of this argument, I simply say that I am agnostic. I am agnostic because there is NO evidence proving the existence of Gaia, nor is there any direct evidence that proves Gaia doesn’t exist. From what we’ve observed in our universe, we have yet to find a need for such a god to exist.
For now, because of the extreme lack of evidence and that we have not even discovered a need for such a “being”, I have decided that there is probably NO Gaia. The same conclusion is also drawn for Zeus, Chronos, Ra/Amen-Ra, etc...
However, because my beliefs are malleable, if suffiecient and convincing evidence is found in the future that a Gaia or a god does exist, then I may become a deist. However, if it known as fact, then it can hardly any longer be considered a belief/faith.

Like I said, in a way it’s a belief system; a belief that no gods exist. Me believing that there are no pink, untangable invisible unicorns following everyone around also classes a type of belief, as you can believe that such a thing doesn’t exist.
As well, like I said before, it doesn’t necessarily classify it as a religion.
