How do you propose that we could "slip" and fall into a religion as atheists?
from Google:
re·li·gion
riˈlijən/
noun
noun: religion
1.
the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods.
"ideas about the relationship between science and religion"
synonyms: faith, belief, worship, creed
Doesn't really seem like something we might do to me..
What are you trying to say?
Metaphorically speaking, which is why I placed ''religion'' in quotes.
One could make it a mission almost, to spend one's time fighting against religion, and that in and of itself, becomes a belief system for that individual.
It's important to stand up for what is right, and not let religous factions take over public square, but it's another to focus one's attention on dismantling religion. It's here to stay. It's better to find ways to educate people as to what atheism is than to spend one's time discrediting religion.
That is more of my point.
And quite frankly, religious people do a smashing job of discrediting themselves. lol Atheists and agnostics don't need to get in the fray.
