Atheism is a religion
#16
RE: Atheism is a religion
If we define religion as a relationship with the Sacred. Atheism is either rejection of the sacred or disbelief in the Sacred. That is a relationship to the Sacred, be it negative one or a disbelief one.

However religion hasn't ever really been defined all that much.

Personally, I can say Arabic word of the meaning, yes Atheism is a religion. I'm not too sure about English definition

For example someone mentioned hair. What color is your hair is no brainer. Baldness has nothing to do with it. However "what is your hair style", then you can say "I am bald" and that is a hair style.

Your relationship with the Sacred is that of disbelief or denial. Whatever which it is, it's a stance.

With Arabic word, it's about your system of obedience. If you don't obey and submit to God and his guidance, you either obey your perceptions that may or may not be guided or you obey others who may or may not be guided. I know it's easy to be misguided to a degree and be of the people that are mixing guidance with misguidance, truth with falsehood, goodness with evil, and don't have a clear distinguisher between darkness and light, and the path of guidance and the path of misguidance, mixing that and this, and being happy with eating both filth and pure blessings, and mixing them together.

Those who want the pure path, pure blessings, being from uncleanness, ought to search those who God himself declared pure and made the way towards him and has given a clear miracle and sign and proofs regarding them, and not people claiming purity for themselves and thus claiming authority with no clear evidence from God.
