    Atheism, and kinda anti-religion too, but not a whole lot (I don't mind others practicing it, but I don't see a point in it myself).

    Don't consider myself to be tied to it - but for all intent and purposes I'm a Christian, I guess.

    However, I'm more hopeful than beleiving in God.

    And 55K, there's a difference between Catholics and Christians. Catholics are just a branch of the many different Christians.
    Oh, oops. You don't have Theology for 2yrs. and everything goes out the window. My bad. :sigh:

    Raised as catholic, however I consider myself a rational pantheist with traces of stoic and epicurean.

    Well, since I consider Atheism a religion
    In the words of some guy I saw on youtube
    "Atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby."
    If a general definition of religion is that it's a set of beliefs concerning deities, then why wouldn't Atheism be a religion? Granted, there are several different views on the definition of religion. It all really depends on how you define religion.

    As a side note, I believe the U.S. legally treats Atheism as a religion.

    Foremost is the chromatic substance accomplishment to Picklegod! Pickle contributes to all parts of the forum, stays astir, and mostly is awful to everyone he meets. A wonderful, intelligent somebody, Pickle testament now better us with every day NF decisions. Approval Picklgod!

    It's classified mainly as a "non-religious" selection.

    Atheism has no deities at all (Agnosticism doesn't either but that thinks there may be one out there so that's debatable), so you can't really call it a religion.

    It's the absence of belief, not the belief in absence.

    Also there are no godly rules or laws or organization or whatever.

    No, Science doesn't count.



    Also, to answer the OP, to hell with it. I'm going to start worshiping Ra and his posse of gods just so I can get into heated debates with people who don't worship them. IE, everyone. It'll be fun.

    The reason atheism isn't a religion because atheist people don't necessarily all believe in the same thing other then the fact that god does not exist.

    The term Atheism only means you don't believe in god. Atheists can beleave in the devil, Atheists can beleave in an afterlife, Atheists can beleave in a flying unicorn that grants wishes to all who eat yellow food.

    In the end though, most Atheists do infact not beleave in any of the other dressings most religions have (ie an afterlife or an antigod).

    Although the word's etymological origin is the Greek word 'aetheos' ('without god'), I'd say that the modern definition of atheism is a rational denial of the supernatural and mythological in general.
