in a way that relates to the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of different societies.

Cultures are socially constructed too

So why can Atheism not be an ethnicity other than you thinking stupid and silly? Any logical substance?

See my edit, above. Even among the small sampling of atheists on this forum, there doesn’t appear to be a unique or even common set of values and practices.

Ethnicity seems quite vague to me as it’s made up so thought I’d ask. I think Atheism is quite a big thing to have in common if you don’t identify ethnically elsewhere, just an idea anyway

Here’s a quote from national geographic :
Neither race nor ethnicity is detectable in the human genome. Humans do have genetic variations, some of which were once associated with ancestry from different parts of the world

I need tp think on with this one...interesting topic...oh so tempting to be affirmed as part of an immutable group/ethnicity...be wary Lawz, be wary....

You are finding it difficult to accept you’re wrong.
Nothing you say will change that. Brian is actually making sense now … but you are struggling, a lot.

Apparently Lawz has greater social weight than national geographic and other sources!

I am happy to debate but ethnicity isn’t genetic
That’s clear. It’s made up
