I did a little research on the "Star Destroyer" web site and found this Cat not only presents spin - he is a liar. Case in point:

I have heard that some religionists have adopted the bizarre tactic of claiming that atheism is a religion, but as we can see, it doesn't come anywhere near the proper definition, so I can only imagine that they are either lying or deliberately quoting "loose" secondary definitions (ie- meant for colloquial uses such as "football is his religion").

Now the truth:

Religion: 4. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

(American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition)

This Cat pursues his atheism with zeal and conscientious devotion – just imagine all the hours he spends compiling this anti-Christian spin

See, this is what it is all about. Spin - Distortion - ANYTHING to support his predetermined conclusion. Atheism fits the description of a religion. This man is a propagandist.

Caught that the first few lines into the 'source' as well as a quick look at his home page.

There will be spin on ANY website.

It is up to you as the reader of said site to figure out what is and what is NOT spin.

The man is an athiest, and anyone that says that athiesm is a religion is spinning as far as I am concerned.

Athiesm is a LACK of religion, not A religion, there is a HUGE difference.
