Atheism is the punk rock of religion

[Reforged]

So if the dictionary is saying that consumerism isn't a religion, then you agree that it is saying that atheism is a religious activity? lol

From Wikipedia:

Atheism:

"Atheism is accepted within some religious and spiritual belief systems, including Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Neopagan movements such as Wicca, [18] and nontheistic religions. Jainism and some forms of Buddhism do not advocate belief in gods, whereas Hinduism holds atheism to be valid, but some schools view the path of an atheist to be difficult to follow in matters of spirituality."

"So if the dictionary is saying that consumerism isn't a religion, then you agree that it is saying that atheism is a religious activity? lol"
I assume you mean the definition:
"A pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance
- consumerism is the new religion"
Ok so you just established consumerism is not a religion according to this definition, that "consumerism is the new religion" is not to be taken literally. That it only shares similarity to religion. If you can say that about consumerism despite it being in the definition how on earth are you going to say Atheism is a religious position?
Take me through this, just let me strap in and brace myself first.

All you've just told me is some religions have atheistic views toward other religions and certain matters.
That doesn't make atheism a religious position in itself.

To be honest I'm just adding this so people don't forget at this point: "Atheism = lack of belief in God." Fr0d0, 2012.

Soooo.... done?
