Well I am sure you are aware that Secular Humanism was developed by atheists, so not really sure what your point is there. The fact of the matter is that the court in Wisconsin DID conclude atheism was a religion and the Supreme Court DID conclude that religions do not require a belief in a supreme being in order to be classified as religions. You can ignore these facts all you want, but it does not dimension the validity of my argument any.
Of course you will go on an off-topic tangent and fail to produce the quote that you obviously lied about.

I would challenge you to find any atheists who do not believe that life on earth evolved through natural means. Nice try.
You, of course, missed the point. All Christians are followers of the Bible. I have never met one atheist who thinks an atheist's book is the word of a supreme being.

Ugh. Your grammar. I hate it. Anyway, reading something and learning a theory are different from being indoctrinated.

You think I am having problems "keeping up?" Why don't you stay on topic and state your opinions and "facts" clearly?

They are writers, not leaders.

Way to pretend you were making a different point than you were trying to make. I do what I think is right, not some douche you think is a leader.

There is no atheist religion. Stop being obtuse.

You still haven't proven that the judicial system thinks that atheism is a religion. You pulled a bullshit quote out of your ass. I read the findings of the judge in that matter and your bullshit quote was nowhere to be found. Try not to be dishonest and I will try to "keep up" with your obviously superior intellect.

As much as it pains me, I do read the drivel that you post.

Stalin defined atheism the exact same way you do, I am sorry if that makes your religion look bad but you will learn to live with it.
I do not have a religion, but I hope all the child rapists in yours make you look bad. Oh, and the murderers and those who force children to wage war against their own countrymen. I just love what your religion has done to Africa.
