Atheism - less war?

Your question in the OP was a set up and you expected us all to say that "of course there would be less wars". Except that we didn't (because we're not retarded), and now you're left to somehow pin the idea of atheism to the religious column on your own. So was this thread you created always about how atheism is a religion or did you want to stick to your phony question about atheism and wars?? ![[Image: Evolution.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk619%2Fjcincain%2FPublic%2FEvolution.png)  (April 22, 2013 at 9:51 am)Dawud Wrote: What of atheist religions?There! I sprinkle some tap water on you. You are baptised in the ways of atheism. Now go forth and spread the words and wisdom to all the sheepels that they may find their way. Oh and don't forget your bag of guns and explosives to be more persuasive.  RE: Atheism - less war?

My research goes far beyond the Internet and I know that many Buddhists would deny the existence of God...
Not an atheist religion? I'm not sayings atheism is a religion or setting you up so please spare the "theists are stupid" prejudice. I do know that there are Buddhists that claim to be atheist... Are they wrong or is Buddhism not a religion?

It's a religion that incorporates atheism, not an "atheist religion". The lack of a belief in a god is not the driving force behind the religious principles in the way that calling something a "christian religion" describes it as a religion whose principles are founded upon the notion of christ. Subtle but important distinction. It would be difficult to form a religion with atheism as a basis thereof - difficult, but probably not impossible.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
? Religions that incorporates atheism.
What is the religion before the atheism then?

I've been over this: There are atheis'tic' 'religions' (more like worldviews). There are no atheis't' religions. See the difference? ![[Image: Untitled2_zpswaosccbr.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1140.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fn569%2Fthesummerqueen%2FUntitled2_zpswaosccbr.png) RE: Atheism - less war?

If there is such a thing as religion... To be honest TSQ, I'd live some clarification... What is the difference between atheistic and atheist in your opinion?

People make up batshit religions out of nothing all the time, you know, like islam.  However, for something to be an "atheist religion" ala "christian religion" it would have to go along the lines of "because I do not believe in gods I should" yadda yadda yadda- the religious bit would have to follow from the absence of belief (as the religious bit is purported to follow from the belief bit in other religions - a point which i would contest - by the by)- which is a non-starter. Not that this could really stop people, as I mentioned above, they're all no-starters and we do it anyway.

So beliefs and actions etc are not based on atheism at all?

Is there someone engaging in this conversation that I can't see...because I'm starting to wonder who you're talking to......
(or are you just flying from ledge to ledge like a pigeon looking for a place to shit?)
