Faux News: Atheism is a religion, too

[Gwaithmir]

humans may have religious belief genetically hardwired into our dna, which is why so many gravitate to these beliefs.  People want to have a world view and a moral system, religion can provide that ready made.  

There are plenty of die hard atheists who appear to have simply replaced evangelical religion with atheist activities.

As a former chapter officer in American Atheists, I got to meet and know literally hundreds of non-believers. Only a handful of them behaved in this manner. Their behavior does not define atheism for the majority. Atheism, in its simplest and most accurate definition is nothing more than the absence of religious beliefs. Atheism is the antithesis of religion.
