    Why do evangelicals think "well atheism is a religion so there" is a valid argument, as if we're going to drop everything and run to Christianity?

    "By the loosest possible bull definition, atheism is a religion, so why can't you heathens shut up and support our warmongering, bigotry, and use of the law to push our agenda?"

    This is the type of that's part of the reason why I don't follow religion, tbh.... I respect that people choose to believe in and live their life by the words of an imaginary sky fairy, crazy as it may seem to me, but I wish people would respect my choice not to do so, tbh.....

    Atheism claims, with certainty, there is no God.

    So, no, what was described isn't atheism. Agnosticism, maybe.
    You're a moron who can't understand a simple concept like negation.

    Agreed, I've always tried hard to respect people's views on their own religion but I regularly get judged for not having a religion.

    That's kind of the point Of this thread. "Not having a religion" != atheism; atheism disrespects other religions by insisting there is no God. You know, judging others for having a religion.

    Wrong tbh.... atheism is a wide school of thought that branches off into smaller groups, including agnosticism, apatheism, and naturalism.... and in fact, atheism is a branch of irreligion, which is literally the absence of religion...

    atheism disrespects other religions by insisting there is no God
    Certain types of atheists may insist there is no god, but they don't speak for all types of atheism, B.... also, by your logic, wouldn't religions' claims that there is a god be disrespectful to atheists?

    Why are you avoiding the question about which God you believe in?

    Okay; without getting into a whole separate discussion about your construction if atheism, I'm thinking the only sect of that religion germane to this discussion are those that disrespect other people's religions by insisting there is no God.

    And, to your last question, no; unless my religion similarly insists atheists believe in God. I consciously choose not to belong to a faith community, such as Hagee's or Robertson's, for that reason.

    No one on this planet knows how others, even atheists, will be judged by God.

    So, in other words, you're just going to ignore all branches of atheism that don't fit your delusional argument, tbh....

    No one on this planet knows how others, even atheists, will be judged by God.
    Additionally, nobody on this planet can prove definitively if there is a god to judge us after we die....

    Well, if you'll check the subject line of the thread, it is about the worst religion. I probably spoke imprecisely if I gave you the impression I agreed with your premise, I don't. I view, for instance, atheism and agnosticism differently. I was simply trying to cut through the irrelevant (to the thread) definition you posted, and return to the subject of worst religion.

    Additionally, nobody on this planet can prove definitively if there is a god to judge us after we die....
    Nor can they disprove it. It's a matter of belief on both sides.

    I specifically asked if you believe in Bible God. Twice.

    You were pretty bold earlier in this thread when you suggested atheists should get their own country while calling atheism the worst religion.

    why are you so chicken about your religion?

    It's not a matter of belief that the existence of a god hasn't been proven, it's a known fact.... additionally, "you can't disprove God so he must exist" is a classic Burden of Proof fallacy...

    Really? I think they'd fit right in with a god who loves threatening to "curse the Earth", recommends cutting their enemies into pieces and feeding the blood to their dogs, and approves human sacrifices, tbh...

    The atheists about which I'm talking don't declare His existence hasn't been proven, they declare He doesn't exist.

    And, I never said God "must" exist, I simply believe He does. You're as free to believe He doesn't.

    So now only some atheists are in a religion, not all of them? Not only are you moving the goalposts, you're also contradicting yourself, as you began by claiming simply that atheism in and of itself is a religion and that all atheists should leave the US and start their own country....

    And, I never said God "must" exist, I simply believe He does. You're as free to believe He doesn't.
    Apparently not, as you want anyone who doesn't believe in a god to leave this country...

    God hates s. So he'd probably approve. He created a people who never had a shot at heaven from day 1. He created beings that he hates, apparently.










    Oh wait, I totally forgot. sexuality is purely an individual's choice.

    now atheists are free to stay in your God's country?

    why are you so scared to answer my question as to which God you believe in? Are you ashamed of yourself for believing in fairy tales?

    Mark 8:38 New International Version (NIV)

    38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

    Did you not read my post? I don't see how you can't understand that the a- prefix is merely a negation.

    Atheists who claim to know that God doesn't exist aren't part of a religion either.

    Are you trying to say that anyone that makes a guess at something is part of a religion?

    I like how the evangelicals in this thread are intentionally being obtuse with regards to what they aren't certain about.

    "Since I can't prove the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist, then I can't say for sure he doesn't exist, I can only think he doesn't exist!"

    Apparently, every definition of atheism and religion, besides Yonivore's, is wrong.
