Although I guess I need to clarify :p
Real punk rock, not that typically fake American junk, is not over produced, heavy metal with spiky hair. It's stripped back to the basics, cut off as much as possible from tradition, raw expression of music. Punk rock is taking climax and putting it at the beginning. Having your band photos not go through PhotoShop to remove the not so nice reality.
Atheism is this.
And I think it's a religious endeavour as much as any other, in that it's an honest search for meaning.
It's not Valentines day, but you guys know I love you right?
Atheism is a religion like off is a tv channel.
Individuals in any given group can have a wide range of levels of education and interests. I have met plenty of atheists who don't go any further than "god doesn't exist" and they don't get into the level of debate and activism. that others do.
Atheism should NOT be treated like a religion. We do not pray, we do not have holy houses of worship. We are all individuals and nothing to me should be worshiped like a religion. We are all individuals FIRST, and we have always been the same species no matter our label.
A label will not automatically make an individual do either good or bad.
