Atheism is not a religious worldview. If religion didn't exist, atheism would be the default and have nothing to do with a religious worldview and no religious person could dispute that. That religion just does happen to exist doesn't change this but they like to make it sound like it does because it makes them think they sound less preposterous.
Yes, I understand, but you wouldnt call it athiesm then if everyone was athiest then, would you? No, but it exists, because religon exists, it is the lack of belief in a religon, a religous view while not a religon
SAF used to explain to people precisely how ignorant these sorts of comments were. Too bad he's not here anymore.
