I was just having a discussion about this with my dad. Do you think that Atheism is a religion?
I am just curious as to what other people have to say about this one. Thank you for answering. Please don't be too rude to others :) Thanks :)
Atheism is the belief that there is no god. So merely the...
If you had been brought up in India, you would be believing in Hinduism; if you had been brought up in Iraq, you would be believing in Islam; and if you had been brought up in pre-Christian Norway, you would be believing in Nordic paganism. With such a perspective in mind, what makes you think...
A lot of atheists go out of their way to try convince people God is not real etc , there are many internet celebs who are known for trying to turn people against God and try convince how God could not be real.
Such people are like unholy prophets . It seems atheism is becoming a belief system...
...R&S because we aren't religious? We have two differing groups of Christians, claiming either
1. that atheism is a religion, and so presumably these Christians think it is fine for atheists to be on R&S,
or
2. that atheists are out of place in the religion section, presumably because they...
The fact that we have not been introduced to enough evidence to believe that there is a god of any sort; clearly make us a religion right?
So does this make the Christians a-thorists/a-odinists/a-zeusists/a-shivaists/a-garudists/a-allaists...........
I think this means that...
More and more people are sinning and becoming evil today. They hear the word of God as SHUT THEIR HEARTS. Why would someone want to hurt God? Why do they bash Christians? Why do they kill babies? If this trend continues, I feel sorry for them when God saves us and damns them.
Religion literally means to reconnect with God or your source...If an atheist is not reconnecting but rather rejecting their source, then how is it considered a religion? Or are they just being sarcastic.
I often hear some theists say atheism is a religion because the courts said so, even when it doesn't fit the definition of a religion:
Religion: A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of life and the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a supernatural...
What would the churches look like? Who would be the pastors? How would they preach? Who would we discriminate against? Would we try to force other people to follow the laws of science?
etc.
I can completely understand the view of Agnostics. They neither accept nor refute the existence of god, right? They leave that idea in the 'possible' basket. How can an Atheist be so sure that there is no God? If I could get the opinion/testimony of some Atheists on this too, that'd be great...
Where do we not worship?
Where do we not collect tithes?
Where don't we go door to door?
Etc....
Pilgrim: You're saying I invented my own religion when I was a child because I knew that everything I was being taught was a complete crock of sh*t. That makes no sense.
i honestly don't understand how people can be atheist, because i don't understand how the universe could be made without a god, i don't understand how science disproves God, and finally what happens once you die? IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!
...coming of Jesus Christ? To show mankind how much we have deviated from their path shown by him two millennia ago....

We got into the disscussion of atheism today in Geography. Everyone except me says that atheism is a religion, but they are wrong, I know this. Here are some of their reasons:
Teacher said: its called philosophy.
Students said: Techincally its a religion because the US classifys it as a...
My expastor (I left the religion awhile ago) has been telling my exchurchmates that I am in the atheism religion now.
Is that what most christians believe?
So do christians believe I worship an Atheist God now? What an oxymoron?
