If you don't believe in God, you're ALREADY an atheist, so it can't be the reason you became one. This is like saying someone became a tire salesman because they started selling tires.

To post (and continue the thread), or not to post(because at the end everyone else gives up), that is the question.

ALL atheists are such because they don't believe in a god or gods. That is pretty much the definition.

People can disbelieve for good reasons, or bad reasons. but disbelief in a god is atheism.

Not all religions have churches and churches are not required to make a religion.
You have Hindu mandirs, Islamic masjids, and Mormon temples. All of these serves as places of comfort, worship or gatherings. In the case of a church it functions as a club often times and I do not know why atheists call them churches to be honest. They are clubs really.

I am all for atheists gatherings but this church nonsense is stupid

If atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby.

Then I must be the best non-stamp collector because I don't have any.

If atheism is a religion, then giving it away is prostitution.

No. If I dont believe in God that is what makes me an atheist. That is what qualifies me as an atheist. Whatever it is that it took you to through that path (it's either skepticism or curiosity) nevertheless the main reason is your disbelief.

So you are telling me that there are other principles in atheism besides not believing in god?

Yeas so?
Hey Tom how are you what have you've been doing.
I became a tire salesman.
Really hows that?
You see last month I started selling tires….
I don't find any flaw in that logic.

You just read the title of the thread and posted right after that didn't you? You didn't read how I was agains't that very statement(Atheism considered a religion) nevertheless the main point of misconception are the existence of atheist churches didn't you?

Finally someone who gets the point.

You sir have earned a rep.

Zid, did you ever think that, by continuing to post in a thread you titled "Atheism is a religion," bumping it to the top of the feed every time, you're perpetuating the very myth you're trying to dispel?

Just a thought.
