Is Atheism a Religion? Why or why not?

Atheism cannot be true because you believe there is no God. Lol. Atheism can only be true if in fact there is no God.

You are defining Atheism as "I believe there is no God". Then, since you do, you are saying, Atheism is true. Lol.

Now, of T and A, only one can be true. They are mutually exclusive and cumulatively exhaustive. P(A)+P(T)=1, or 100%. So evidence in favor of Theism will reduce the probably of Atheism being true. Evidence in favor of Atheism, if any such thing exists, would reduce the probability of theism being true. Then, you assess each of the arguments in favor of either, like Contingency/Cosmology, Fine-Tuning, the Moral Argument etc.

I think we know now why the world economy is such a mess.

There's a Dilbert cartoon where Dilbert is being confronted by the garbage collector. The garbage man tells Dilbert that he found a paper Dilbert had discarded and the garbageman had taken the liberty to correct his equations for him. In response, Dilbert told him that he was amazed that he was a garbageman. To which the garbagemen man replied, "And I'm amazed that you're an engineer."

I'm amazed that NX is an accomplished banker, though perhaps I shouldn't be.
