Is this some sort of mental defense thing to make them feel more comfortable? Like "Ha! You are no different. ATHEISM IS A RELIGION!". I don't see how lacking a fundamental belief system in some higher being or faith, which is what religion is, make it a religion? I don't know, I get this A LOT! I'm just about tired of it, in fact I was just in a debate about it, it makes no sense and it irritates me beyond imagination. Some Atheists I know even think science is BS! so No Science isn't a holy scripture or religious scripture either! It isn't based on blind faith.
Okay sorry for the rant.
Atheism is simply a viewpoint of the universe... it has nothing to do with faith or belief, therefor does not fit the definition of "religion".... and yes, it does aggravate me "beyond belief" (pun most definitely intended).
