Atheism is a belief system and is therefore a religion. You pontificate on the existence of sacred beings so you actually are discussing a religion.Xorghul said:But for the last time, Atheism is not a religion. It's in fact, the opposite.
Still hair down there.Amnestic said:Some guy on the Internet at some point in time said:Atheism is as much a religion as bald is a hair colour
Agreed: something like that is more along the lines of Anti-theism. And is that a joke about- No. I'm not going to ask the obvious question.The_root_of_all_evil said:The True Atheist, if there ever could be such a thing, would simply ignore all concept of religion, rather than taking the "ZOMG! PEOPLE GOT KILLED FOR BELIEVING" line that we've heard so many times.

Facism. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facism]InfernoJesus said:So when the show's main "villain" does something that contradicts Christianity, it's up to bibleman to force his facist Christian opinion upon him and all the kids in the audience? That's terrible. Any parent who condones this show isn't fit to have a child.
Children shows should try to teach multiple viewpoints and tolerance, not this facist crap.

Yes Lewis, A large number of people watch the show "You Have Been Watching". My favourite was the banana guySparrow Tag said:No. I'm not making this up. There is a show, on TV, about a Christian superhero called Bibleman.
Now, I'm for all relgion, including atheism. People can do what they like for all I care. This however, is mindboggling. I really don't understand how a TV show as forced and terrible as this has made it through not three, not four, not five, but TEN years of airing.
What are you thoughts on this Escapist?
Would that that were true.MaxTheReaper said:Yes, but all of those people are stupid.Sparrow Tag said:Actually, alot of people say otherwise. Technically, Atheism is a belief in nothing, hence, still a belief.
Atheism is, simply put, the lack of belief in gods.
Nothing more, nothing less - atheists have that UND ONLY THAT to connect them.
You are mistaken. Atheists simply do not believe in Gods altogether, therefore, no faith, no religion. An Agnostic is not sure if there is or isn't a god.The_root_of_all_evil said:Would that that were true.MaxTheReaper said:Yes, but all of those people are stupid.Sparrow Tag said:Actually, alot of people say otherwise.

They also have an annoying tendency to jump into any argument about religion and say "MY BELIEF COUNTERS THIS". So....Religion.
Lack of belief in gods would make you Agnostic as you've not shown any strong views either way.
