Thank you, guys. It's been fun.
I believe your real issue is that you have suddenly realized that your standard currency of banal platitudes, uncritically accepted as profundity in your normal circles, has no value here.
Good riddance.

Yes, Atheism is a Religion

Isn't this the same guy who abandoned the last thread he started?
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
Wiser words were never spoken.

It's a bit rich, you saying that to people who know first-hand how religious people respond when you tell them their god idea is a fantasy. Or even ask them to prove it isn't when they won't stop badgering you to play along with their fantasy game, and threatening you when you won't.

Yup, let's all pretend that the one sentence dismissive response you gave had nothing to do with your previous rant about secularism and the responses you got to it, despite the fact that you used an identical one liner within that initial rant to refer to atheists. How terribly fucking dishonest of you, but I guess that doesn't matter, since dishonesty is the only way you can score cheap rhetorical points now that you've been comprehensively refuted, right?

@ Reflex If you consider "get a dictionary" to be a display of that then so be it. You still should get one.

Atheism is absolutely a religion.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Don't deny what you know to be true, Hanky.
