"Christianity is not a religion"

[Jeff Van Gundy]

Atheists are suppose to believe in nothing that would mean that they are apathetic. If they are apathetic and worry free about life after death, they would not have groups, organizations, and presidents because they have no reason to have them.

are u re ed?

[Halberto]

Jacob1983 clearly has some animosity towards atheists, he just can't explain why with any logic.

[Drachen]

It's like claiming to not believe in gay marriage but still going out of your way to rant about "them thar fornications"...

A true atheist is apathetic about religion and all things related to religion. In simple words, they don't give a .

I would argue that a true athiest has given a lot of though (perhaps even more than the religious) to the subject of god, religion, afterlife, etc. After this thought, they have come to the conclusion that no compelling evidence exists for the proof of religion.

[Drachen]

I'm saying that by the way some atheists act and carry themselves in society that one could see atheism as a religion. It's sad but true.

bags are bags, no matter what they believe in. I have encountered athiests that have far more in common with fundamentalist muslims/christians/whatever than they do with me and I tell them so. However, organization into a group to fight for one's rights or promote one's point of view, etc does not make this group a religion. If that were the case, then there would be no corporate taxes.

Does it really bother atheists to see a Christmas tree up in a park or should not that tree mean nothing to them? What about all the lights on the trees on the Riverwalk?

Does it really bother christians to not see a christmas tree up in the park?

The answer is likely the same for both questions. Some do, some don't give .

Who said they are bothered by trees and lights?

a Christmas tree isn't religious, a nativity scene is Christian.

Believing in nothing <> being apathetic, but either way, atheists have THE BELIEF god doesn't exist.

"atheists have THE BELIEF god doesn't exist"

there's no evidence that He does exist. so the atheist position is more rational, scientific than the God-believers.

Not "believing" in something isn't really belief, it is just the natural state, status quo, whatever you want to call it.

I should have responded differently.

Who here is now admitting there is a war on christmas that said there wasn't one two weeks ago?

I'd normally agree that it's nothing more than simply not rejecting the null hypothesis, but the way god mongerers insist that the burden of proof rests on atheists to disprove god just as much as the burden of proof rests on them to prove god, I'd call it a special cir stance.

It's not a special cir stance just because someone wants it to be.

Christianity not being a religion is like when WC says he's not a Republican.

He is not! He is a libertarian who wants the empower the government to cut your junk!

If a disbelief in god is unlike a null hypothesis in the sense it's something I need to prove, then it's also something that I "believe" in. I'm just using their logic.
