The Sects of Atheism

[Mister Agenda]

Yes but if you wanna call yourself ‘more religious’ and claim to be a true atheist in the strict dictionary sense …. Then you’re not being true to what you really are.

Being an atheist means you can't believe in gods, if you don't believe in gods you're an atheist, by definition. Nothing in that definition about how religious you are. I've met devout Buddhists who are atheists. I know a Unitarian Universalist minister who is an atheist. I hate to claim them but Raellianism is technically an atheistic religion since they substitue aliens with no magic for prophets and gods. The Satanic Temple is atheistic (using Satan as a metaphor/symbol). And there's these guys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethical_movement

Unless you use the word 'religion' in its narrowest sense of worship of a superhuman being, there's nothing stopping an atheist from being religious. If you do use it in that sense, why were you claiming atheism is a religion?

Which is an utter bullshit assertion unless you can demonstrate that gods and souls exist in the first place, and that one cannot exist with out the other. Try again?

Low-effort troll is obvious, lol

And here we go. The troll card has been thrown when you’re not willing to respond in a logical manner.

This topic in not going to demonstrate the existence of gods or souls, it’s about clarifying what you’re allowed to say or not based on your position.

I'd say the troll card has been thrown down because you've shown a tendency to make posts intended to provoke a negative emotional response. Calling materialists meat machines whose only value is meat comes to mind.

And the only thing that an atheist can say that would be contradictory to their atheism is that they believe in any gods. You continue to claim that there are other things 'we're not allowed to say' without supporting or even defending that contention, which is also trollish behavior. I'm not sure what percentage of trollish behavior it takes to qualify as a full-on troll, but you're definitely on the spectrum.
