Quote:It's what I've been taught in anthropology classes since 101.
But what I don't understand is, if you've been taught that religions are 'systems of belief that organize the universe and inform the worldview of a person' then how can you suggest that the anthropological definition can apply to atheism when, by definition, it is not a system but an absence of a system?

It seems that anthropology isn't making that claim but you are.
