I don't think you can call atheism a religion, nor an ideology, but I would say it is an idea that lead towards my current view of life.


I checked your scale I feel comfortable with category 6 too! Thank you!


Now I can start to sort out my "beliefs"

1. "scientific facts I know"

2. "gut feelings I live with until or if proven otherwise" (sometimes shows some personal stuff, so important anyway, if not provable)

3. "personal not very strong beliefs just for the fun" (you never get a parking ticket twice in the same week! ... usually wrong but lessens the guilt of not paying the parking)

4. "beliefs that usually change depending on mood and weather" (who cares... )

It will help me sort out what I’m talking about and not mix everything up!
