:iconimrlynotimpressedplz: ...... Just .... seriously people who think this?? Its annoying....

You wont believe how many people will say "oh you're an atheist? did you know that means your religious, since atheism is a religion, since you BELIEVE and have FAITH that there isn't a God"....... This completely contradicts the point of being an Atheist in the first place. ( definition:Atheism is commonly defined as the position that there are no deities. It can also mean the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. A broader definition is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist.)

Its not a religion its just means you DON'T believe or have a LACK of faith.

Reminds me of a documentary I watched ( not the one where they said chimpanzees giving birth to a human was evolution ) This documentary depicted scientific research centers as churches for the religion of atheism and Darwin's book "Origin of species' as their bible, and Darwin as their prophet.....

Tl;DR Don't be lazy, go back and read it. :eyes:

Edit* and personally? I hate the word atheist...I think its a pointless word, like an a-space...( a space void of any object, organism, etc) But then again Atheist does have its differences e.g. it is a firm rejection of a God (unlike Agnosticism). Waiting for the SEE HAHAHA YOU HAVE FAITH THERE IS NO GOD! argument... but no that is not how it works. I don't believe it because I have looked at the whole situation rationally and I don't think its a plausible idea... It is just ridiculous, the supernatural is a myth and that has been proven by the fact there has never being a single documented case. I am sorry but faith just isn't good enough for me, I need proof and solid facts.

Itīs impossible to prove that something doesnīt exists,but if you canīt prove that something exists,it doesnīt exists.Itīs simple as that.
For the religious ones that donīt understand it : I canīt prove that there isnīt gold in Jupiter's core,but if you canīt prove that there is gold there,then there isnīt any :shrug:

I can't believe some people think atheism is a religion. Like you said it's just a lack of faith right? Nothing wrong with that at all, people can believe what they want.

I really hate it when people think that being religious is a horrible thing, to me, its not religion that is bad, its people themselves who make religion bad.
I? I dont care what people have faith in, as long as they dont make fun of what i believe in and wont do anything bad to other people, my door is open and i am ready to give out hugs.
and why sorry? no need to apologize for such thing!

But some types of atheism are religion. There are Unitarians, for example.

Unitarians believe in a God in some form so by definition it cannot be athiesm.

One of my favorite stamps on this issue is "Saying atheism is a religion is like saying bald is a hair color." A quote from Don Hirshberg. :)
