Is Atheism a Religion?
#43
RE: Is Atheism a Religion?
Atheism is not a religion. Religion is a collection of beliefs. Atheism by definition is a lack of belief. The title "atheist" doesn't incorporate the reason a person has a lack of belief it is just the lack of belief. To cloud up the issue with why a person has a lack of belief is circular reasoning and it is the favorite method of argument amongst theists and religious zealots. They can't be happy just believing in their superstitions unless they can get other people to believe it too. They think the more people who believe that a superstition is true then it reaffirms their belief. More circular reasoning.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups! Atheists are like revolutionaries against a tyrannical regime. You can't make someone become a revolutionary. They have to come to that conclusion themselves. When they have had enough they will open their minds and put away childish things. Weak minds have a need to believe in something greater than themselves. Not only to believe in but become a serf to this superstition that they have created.
