The founding fathers/mothers of Modern Atheism/Liberalism.

[Bucky Ball]

Ok, here's a syllogism: Religion generically is any claim about God. But Atheism is a claim about God. Therefore, Atheism is a Religion.

Again, by comparison: Political Systems are anything to do with government. But Anarchy is something to do with Government. Therefore, Anarchy is a Political System. Anarchists will try to evade this conclusion by claiming Anarchy, "being no political system at all", allegedly does not come under such. But it does, because it makes certain claims about political systems that are no in way self-evident and in fact rejected by the vast multitude of humanity. The same is true of Atheism.


Bla bla bla ....

By paragraph:

1. In addition to your definitions being flat-out wrong, you’ve mistaken ‘religion’ for ‘theism’. In order for this to work out, you need to use the same terms. So, theism is a belief in gods and atheism is not belief in gods. Religion is the belief in and worship of gods. Since atheism doesn’t believe in or worship gods, atheism is - by correct definition of what words actually mean - not a religion.

2. Anarchy is not ‘something to do with government’ therefore anarchy is not a political system. Your definition of a political system is wrong because there are plenty of things having to do with government that are apolitical.

3. If you’re going to compare amarsism with atheism, then amarsism isn’t a denial that Mars exists, but the lack of belief that it does.

4. You need to read up on NDEs.

5. There is widespread disagreement (among philosophers) as to whether atheism constitutes a school of philosophy. A common view is that atheism is, at most, a component of other philosophies.

6. Stop being so afraid of communists. They’re really not coming for you.

7. Ditto.
