Atheism isn't a religion.The proper category would be "none".

I'm torn between the two and cannot come to a solid conclusion as yet. I'm meditating on which way to go. ;)

:bravo: I know a lot of atheists who consider it their religion. They won't call it that, but actions speak louder than words.

[fusion4577]

hmm, well it is a belif, and all religon are beleifs, but not all belifs are religons.

It is when you have group meetings about it, setup rules, give yourself a symbol, etc. The god may be different, but the superiority complex isn't.

[Orleander]

ever hear of Amercain atheists

good grief. :rolleyes: The atheists have divided themselves up huh? How is that any different than what religions do?
And I know what your symbol represents.:) How is it different than a cross of the Star of David?

[fusion4577]

srrry, thought you were saying hat atheist ddn't have anything of the sort:o

[Repo Man]

hmm, well it is a belif, and all religon are beleifs, but not all belifs are religons.

An absence of a belief isn't a belief. I have no belief in god(s), because I'm unaware of any credible evidence for them.

[fusion4577]

umm, it is the belif that there is no god, not an absence of belif

[Repo Man]

umm, it is the belif that there is no god, not an absence of belif

No, that's strong atheism. It's dangerous territory to state "There is no god", because you cannot prove it. You cannot prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist either. Make the believers do the work. See Russell's Teapot. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell's_teapot)

[fusion4577]

atheism is the lack o beilf in a god. strong atheism is saying there is no way that there is a god and that this is fact

[Dinosaur]

I do not think that none is equvalent to atheist in this context.Atheism is not a religion. The proper category is none.I have friends who do not accept any religion, but believe that a god exists.

While I would not call atheism a religion, it is a belief system related to the concept of god. Perhaps the problem here is the statement of the poll question.Which of the following is closest to your religious beliefs?Atheist would be a plausible choice in response to the above question.

BTW: This poll seems a bit biased toward monotheistic beliefs.
