You sound exactly like a christian evangelical at this point, trying to argue your way into atheism being a religion or cult.
But atheism is becoming a popular cult as this very forum shows.
In fact, they should rename it to Hatetheism.
If you're not a member of the cult you're deemed to be a heathen cursed with stupidity. The only way into the cult is through a confession that there can be no spiritual essence to reality and through the total repentance of any secret thoughts that such a thing might even be remotely possible.
I mean, gee whiz I'm a mere spiritual agnostic just pondering the possibility of a spiritual essence to reality with an OPEN MIND, and the Hatethesists have decided to socially crucify me as a complete idiot for merely keeping an OPEN MIND.
And now they're going around kicking Buddha in the balls.
Talk about a violent cult.
All all the poor Buddha wanted to do was get snuffed out of existence altogether (that what Nirvana means - to snuff out). If you stop and think about it Siddhartha was the ultimate atheist. He believed that life is an endless cycle of death and rebirth in reincarnation called samsara. All he wanted to do was to get out of it. (i.e. finally die once and for all and not come back to the stupidity and suffering of life).
Buddha was the ultimate atheist.
And now modern atheists are chomping at the bit wanting to kick him in the balls and cause him even more pain and suffering.
How crazy is that?
Is it any wonder why he wanted to get out of this nightmare of life when he was living in a world filled with such hostile apes.
I personally don't blame him.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
