Your argument...or rather your way of attempting to make all atheists "look" badish was a missed opportunity remain silent.
Also, paraphrasing Bruce Willis, I'm not your fucking child.
Speak for yourself, mortal.
I'm as close to infallible as a human can get.
Close...but not quite. :p

Well, this is pretty easily solved. It says "religious views," not "religion." Atheism is a religious view, in that it is a view on the topic of religion. Specifically, it is the view that the person professing it does not believe in the doctrines of religion. Duh. 
Disagreement is still a view, after all. Recently I had to fill out a customs declaration form, where one of the questions was whether I was bringing a certain amount of money into the country I was entering. Since I wasn't, I was directed to put "Not Applicable" in the space. According to your logic, this means I was bringing in Not Applicable dollars into the country. Is "Not Applicable" a monetary value, Christian?
No, it's not. And neither is atheism a religion simply because it's an option on a "religious views" question.
Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?

I said "Many of you", not all of you. Some have put gibberish in that section, my post does not apply to them. Some have put their Lord's name, like me. Again it does not apply to us. My post specifically applies to people who have put "Atheism" or "Atheist" in this section. Get it?
Again, another case of Atheists half-reading and making their own conclusions, as I pointed out in another thread.
So, special pleading much? It applies when you want it to, and doesn't when you don't?
Idiot.

Chris, were you by any chance the person who called in to the Atheist Experience and said, "when you say 'there is no god' you have to say 'there is', so that proves there is a god"?
Also, were you dropped on your head as a baby?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

This guy shows back up around the same time as ShaMan gets banned. Just sayin.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Right, so you think "Not Applicable" is an amount of money you can carry around. So you're just a moron, gotcha.
