I drink Scotch.
Proper Scotch, or the rotgut they make in Scotland?

Some more notes
1. It's doesn't matter how many followers of Shinto have abandon there theism Shinto has gods. (I named one) This just means there doing cultural Shinto (a pillar of Japanese culture) not following the religion .
2. The portion on Jains makes no sense all Hindu's are externalists. As they reject linear time and view reality as a cycle of creation and destruction (destruction isn't the end it's just a phase ) And in old trinity (the one the Jains traditionally accept). There was no destruction just waking, waning and sleeping. But it's still a trinity of states of the brahma. Did I mention they don't reject the rest of the Hindu pantheon.
3. Again for Taoist you ignore cultivation of immortality
4. pantheism is still a believe in A GOD that's why it's called pantheism and not atheism
Once again you didn't read my posts and have shoved Abrahamic presumptions onto other cultures
I don't know how you figure that I'm presuming anything, seeing how I quoted directly from sources. Why are you so desperate to prove that atheistic religions don't exist?
Also pantheism posits that everything is god (pan = all), a tree or a rock is god.
What you're doing is conflating 'God' (uppercase) with 'god' (lowercase).
'God' is referring to a supreme being while 'god' which is synonymous with 'idol' simply means an object of worship (adoring reverence or regard.) which can be anything. So technically gathering together to celebrate 'life' as stated in the video, makes 'life' their god, this doesn't make them any less atheist on the idea of a supreme being.

I don't know what that is.
I may have missed a comma.
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.'

The example I have recently is the JoHos that came to my house a couple of weeks ago while I was out in the garden with the weed eater.
"Hello," says one woman, with a couple of kids in tow (poor little bastards), do you have time to talk about god?"
"You're bloody kidding, right? I'm in the garden, obviously less than half way through what I need to do, sweating like mad, and you want to talk to me about your imaginary friend?"

Then chase them around the yard with the JW weed whacker.

I'd certainly be open to moving my sheh-shoo-ule around...if you're willing to have a friendly discussion about our Lord and Savior; I should think that's a bit more important than making time with some confirmed heathen.
