ITT: Edgy atheists getting butt hurt.

Saying that atheism is a religion is like saying that off is a TV channel.
-
This issue isn't something you can have an opinion on.

atheism is like having a motorcycle and saying it isn't an automobile because it isn't a car at least thats my opinion

No more than not playing football is a sport.

Nope. Atheism is the lack of a religion. A religion tends to have: -Places of worship -Belief in a deity (or deities) -Holy books i.e. The Bble, The Quaran
-
It's more of a philosophy than religion I think.

Well is Buddhist a religion? Because I know a Buddhist that is atheist. However, I would think that a majority of atheists don't fall into religions with no god.

Edited by Barney Stinson: 7/27/2013 11:11:56 PMA religion usually includes one or more of these elements: 1) Holy scripture 2) Tradition 3) Belief in a higher power 4) Place of worship 5) A core set of beliefs and values Atheism has none of these. The only thing that all atheists share is the lack of belief in a god or gods.

Edited by Ttasmmv: 7/27/2013 6:58:26 PMAbsolutely. We all live with a form of religion: a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe.

Technically, no. But, when filling out a card that says, what religion are you, Atheism should be an option. Just like if someone asks you what kind of car you have "I don't have a car" should be an option.

Is atheism a belief?

One could make the argument that a few atheistic beliefs could be religious in nature. But to say atheism is a religion even though its an umbrella term that describes multiple groups is just plain wrong.

66 votes for yes? This place is even dumber than I thought.

Anyone who says it is... Is retarded.

I think any atheist who believes the world was created in a certain way is religious, as there is no 100% proven scientific world creation only theories, and believing in a theory takes faith having faith in a world creation theory is what religion is.

In the same way "Not playing tennis" is a sport

No, it's a lack of religion. Although, some people preach atheism in the same way people preach Christianity or any other religion.
