Religion is a belief system and is NOT limited to the religion of Christianity. The Old Testament is filled with wars at the guidance of the Almighty Creator and every time those children took upon themselves to fight with out that Divine oversight they lost BIG TIME.

As one would expect, as the Old Testament is designed to further the worship of that deity. Obviously, the people who made those stories up aren't going to make their God look powerless. They wrote it to make people believe that they cannot do anything themselves. This idea is featured in most, if not all, religions.

Atheist-ism is a religion as well no matter what the claim to the contrary.

LOL. Well, since there is no such thing as "Atheist-ism," you very well may be right. Atheism, on the other hand, is not a religion, but the absence of religion.

Religion is the reality in which a person lives their lives whether it by science or of a God/'gods' known or unknown.

Well, if that is how you chose to define the word. But most people don't agree with that definition. Indeed, most people would, at a minimum, require a believe in the supernatural, divine, or the sacred. Atheists don't believe in such things.

Fundamentally speaking either the Bible is a truth or allll is up for grabs.

Or the Muslims are correct, or the Hindus, or the Ancient Greeks and Romans, or the animists are right, or the Wiccans, or the Buddhists, or...

Got a news flash for you the stories are NOT made up. You do however have the God given choice to pay attention or NOT.

"Atheist-ism" does too have a god, the person themselves are elevated to that stature.

Hey time is well down the hour glass so won't be long to assess who is on the RIGHT side and who is not.

There is a Christian Doctrine referred to as "amnesty from Oblivion". This is the doctrine that recognizes that God spoke to man in different forms and different ways in past times.

It's the very reason we don't spend a lot of time condemning the ancient Greeks or Romans, or even today's Hindus.
