Is atheism a belief?

[Amarok]

This is what has happened with all belief systems as they've diversified. 

We been over this 

 It starts out as one thing, then people want to modify it to fit their alternative belief that incorporates the same thing with a slight twist.  

No some people want to make definitions divorced from the original term  

Society doesn't have time to try to explain each one, so they all get lumped together under one definition.

 Then society is wrong to do so 

 If not it would require us to discriminate, but that would violate the religious freedom applied to atheism that was granted to them in Dec 2016. 

If the law calls something atheism that is not atheism then the law is flawed 

 Now we're even seeing the atheist churches splitting into what one side feels is more "correct" for them. 

Atheism isn't feels and they can pretend whatever they want their wrong 

Throw in that it's being monetized and it will happen all the more.  T-shirts, offerings, membership fees.  "Why go to their church when I can make my own and charge a fee?" 

Then they have left Atheism and are a cult 

 They do it, then someone else wants a piece of the pie, so they put their own spin on it.

See above 

  Same thing that has happened to Christianity.

Too bad their not remotely the same thing 

  You get late night shysters with their own TV shows making "false claims" but they have religious protections so they can get away with it. 

Yup and that's an issue 

 When you realize that atheists are already making channels and selling merchandise and what not, you'll see it's just going to follow the same path everything else has. 

See above 

 As soon as someone starts saying "they aren't atheists" and it challenges the $$$ coming in, then someone is going to end up getting sued, then you'll see even more protections provided and broader definitions of the law as to protect everybody
