WTF?
Something is religious because it has religiousity?
What the hell's religiousity then?
If you want a definition of religion, you don't have to look far. Religion is spirituality. As such it may involve worship, dogma, denial of other religions or none of the above.
The Bahai' faith doesn't deny other religions or have a set doctrine, but it does rest upon thr worship of the Creator.
Cerrtain Buddhist schools have no set doctrine (Zen), doesn't worship the Creator but may deny other religions.
A madman ascetic living in the mountains doesn't fit any of the hallmarks of religion as put forward by pruple rabbit, so is a atheist communist dictator more religious than the ascetic?
All I've read on this thread are the same worn out Eurocentric steoreotypes
Quote:but if it's basically one in the sense it holds beliefs without evidence
What? Atheism? The belief that religion is an obstacle to world peace and the realisation of human potential. Which has no evidence whatsoever that the Creator doesn't exist? Yet which fervently believes so with "a certain degree of zealous 'religiosity'"
