Atheism Is Another Religion by DrummaBoy(m): 10:04am On May 02, 2013
One of the greatest fallacies of atheists on this section is to think that because they criticize all/most religions then they are irreligious. But let me put it to you guys that believing that there is a no God is a "Belief"; one held steadfastly like adherents other religion, and so atheism is a religion.
Atheism requires active practice of faith. When things happen to religious folks they resort to faith in God to explain it and comfort themselves. When same things happen to Atheisst, e.g: Death, Birth of Child, Wedding, Blessings, Adversities, etc, they resort to their unbelief in God to explain them; I however do not know if they find any comfort in their beliefs.
Now this is not meant to be a down right condemnation of Atheism because religion (outside faith in Jesus alone) can be the worst thing that has happened to all humanity. Some argue that religion is the tares Jesus spoke about in his parables of tares among the wheath.
The atheist may be closer to the true God than most religious people. He has the liberty of spirit to pursue and understand truth as God so many times requires of sound Christians and not the commitment to dogma that denies them access to truth as is found with many religious people.

I make these comments because it seem to me that the religious section is producing more atheist among visitors coming here than all the other religion combined. That for me is a good thing; becaue then the Spirit of God can reach these people (atheists) and convert them to truth as God requires and not continue to make them follow religion blindly.
I also maintain that atheism is a religion; one of the religions of the religious section. Folks who are Christians and Muslims and trado worshippers should see them as another religious group and probably, even, respect their views. That way it will be possible that we can all discuss our religious views with greater openess of mind and charity, and God's Holy Spirit can bring these atheist to faith as He so much longs to do.

Yes. It is a religion. I converted to atheism and now I have to give thanks and praises to the flying spaghetti monster everyday and wear a sieve on my head.

Huh? This makes no sense. Just because atheists see themselves "apart from the crowd," this makes atheism a religion? Absurd. Unless saying this makes you feel good

Atheism is not a religion, it is a personal relationship with reality.

Atheism isn't just a religion, it is the only religion and it has been approved by the true GOD.

We are all atheists whether we like it or not (we were born without any belief whatsoever) If I believe in the almighty power of Krishna but you do not believe in him then you are an atheist also.

Folks, never mind these guys that have derailed my thread. Posts are still welcome on the theses I suggested in the OP: Atheism is Another Religion.
Re: Atheism Is Another Religion by kambo(m): 11:01pm On May 18, 2013
yeah, atheism IS A RELIGION, howbeit, a deviant one.
Religion is as unavoidable as LOCATION every object in existence is some place. So an object cannot not have a location.
If it exsts it has a location.
But it can b an unlikely or unpopular location, so to say a person has no religion is to state d impossible.
Only God has no religion and so is outside the set just like he is outside d set in many ways but it all makes sense wen u consider tht He makes the set and it's elements and not d other way round.
Re: Atheism Is Another Religion by UyiIredia(m): 11:23pm On May 18, 2013
I used to say that to but I now think atheism is best described as a philosophy.
Re: Atheism Is Another Religion by kambo(m): 12:28am On May 19, 2013
Uyi Iredia: I used to say that to but I now think atheism is best described as a philosophy.

a philosophy is purely a logical perspectve. A religion has a philosophy but much more.
A religion contains a diety/
who is wrshpped.
D diety is consulted in times of adversity and praised in times of vctory ..
A religion advances d principles dat govern daily living.
Atheists wrshp themselves. Their mind is their god..
Its an inverted belief system dat makes man see himself as his own sufficiency.
Atheism adheres to d constitution of REASONG, while other religions go by some book or creed.
Atheism is fueled by human Pride , because theres an appeal at being accountable to no1 for ones actions . A life of unbridled restraint.
Atheism isnt new, infact, if u read d book of Genesis, u'll see atheism there.
But it wasnt a belief in "no God" but rather "a castg of off religious restraints" , a belief tht "I am my own God" - wch atheism is in essence.
Note tht, d slogan on professor dawkins bk promotion was "there's no god u can be free now " (or somtn like dat).

In eden adam / eve were free but restrained frm touchg d tree of knowledge of good n evil.
Satan tempted them with d lie tht they'll b better of if they disobeyed. U know d rest.
D same temptation is dangled today, you'll b better of without religion and God (sounds familiar?)
adam and eve bought d lie cuz it appealled to their pride, zero accountability to no 1, full independence..
It also sold them d promise of empowerment thru knowledge . Enlighteng knowledge "... And ur eyes shall b opened..".
Fstfwd, to modern day atheism,
atheists assume theres a dam of knowledge in d sciences and in their heads wch dey consult in All debates abt God and life affairs. Hence d appeal to reasong ..
The promise of satan in eden was dat man will b God!
See evolution, man is evolvg into higher beings , he in essence is on his way to Godhood : total invincibility . Thru wat means , the (exercise of his Mind .reasong/science).
Its a replay of genesis.
