I've been saying that Atheism is a religion for YEARS.

If atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby, and baldness is a hair color.

I'm sorry you've been wrong for "YEARS", maybe you'll start getting a clue one of these days.

Hint: Atheism is not a religion. It's a *lack* of religion -- a *rejection* of religion.

The concept of Atheism perhaps is the antithesis of religion. But most atheists (as Darwinist evolutionists) are religious to the point of zealotry toward their advancement of their ideologies. IOW the FR evos aint 'pure'

Okay... atheism is a rejection of religion. Perhaps atheism doesn't have all the trappings of religion.

What it has is the psychology of religion: The belief in a certain way that the universe works. A range of strength of belief from those who it matters little to, to those who believe so strongly that they see anyone who disbelieves as foolish or evil.

No, atheism *is* a religion. If you don't believe me go talk to one. They're as zealous as any other religious type.

The opposite of a Christian/Jew/Muslim is a Satanist, not an atheist.
