Atheism, or satanism, one of those two
[spoiler]yes atheism is a religion you bums, it's a materialistic religion with the belief in man and not a superior being[/spoiler]
English

There are two types of Satanism, which one?
-
Atheism, while not being a religion, never hurt anybody. When was the last time an atheist group or leader massacred another group due to disagreements about the creation of humanity?

Edited by Vague-BAD: 11/6/2014 9:23:14 PMWhile atheism hasn't caused a war that's killed people, they sure as hell aren't harmless. For people that believe in nothing, those who take the time to have my personal religious monuments/displays vandalized or taken down are certainly affecting me. I know that does not represent all atheists, but then again, anti-homosexual, anti-lots-of-other-things doesn't represent a lot of us either.
-
I never said they were harmless. There are murderers who are atheists. There just aren't many extremist class atheists.
-
It depends on your definition of extremist I suppose. The way I see it, the "extremist" atheists are the ones oppress the various religions.

Edited by Leperous Itch: 5/28/2014 3:08:30 PMAtheism is technically a religion based on the definition of a religion. 1. a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. 2. a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects. 3. the body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefs and practices: a world council of religions. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/religion

Atheism is none of those. There is no set of beliefs just the lack of belief in God. Also, atheists don't believe the same things to the extent that religious people do. As the opposite of theism, for atheism to be a religion, theism must also be a religion [spoiler]theism isn't a religion[/spoiler]

Many Jimmies have been rustled this day.

I'll stick to being a atheist.

Edited by SexyPiranha: 5/28/2014 1:53:32 AMReligion=belief apparently. What about all those people that say "I believe but I'm not religious". Try putting a little thought into things.
-
What about all those people that say, "My religious beliefs are...". Or when people ask someone what their religion is, they respond with, "I'm an Atheist". Try putting a little more thought into things.
-
Because asking someone what religion they are assumes they are religious. For most people "I'm atheist" also means they're irreligious. If I didn't know any better I'd think you didn't use your brain at all when you made that reply.

Edited by Assassin 11D7: 5/28/2014 12:33:51 AMI'm sorry, what irreligion(not a word) are you? Also, your basing your entire argument on how people speak, which is really silly when you think of it because not only is the English language a mess, but the people that use it are even worse.

Edited by SexyPiranha: 5/28/2014 1:40:39 AM[quote]Irreligion[/quote] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion It's not my entire argument it was just the most obvious way to convey the difference between atheism and religion. Here's another one. Atheism is no more a religion than theism is.

[quote]beliefs[/quote] Is nonbelief in something=belief in something when there is no real evidence in favor of that something? Common sense says no. Say I tell you I'm Santa Claus. I provide no evidence for it and you, understandably, do not believe me. Is your disbelief=to someone else's belief in spite of the lack of evidence. [quote]Fedora, edgy[/quote] Froggert, stahp.
