Is atheism a belief?

Makes it less funny. 

I've been surprised to see that people here still use the word "retard" as an insult. I thought that grown-ups didn't say that any more.

It's funny because I grew up in a culture where we use the word retarded to describe things that are stupid. As adults, we don't really call people retards. I definitely still call stuff retarded, but the connotation isn't that it's special needs. I would never call a special needs person a retard. That's retarded.
