I provided several parallels using your so called 'analysis'. . .is that such a bad thing?

And oh,i already gave my analysis as to why atheism is not religion. I suggest you read back.

Smh at segregation sipping into an internet forum.

Stop being sensitive guys.

I just checked again. I cant see any analysis of ur assertion in ur posts.

Look deeply. . .stop looking for what you wanna see and appreciate what is written.

what is a religion?

Religion is a belief in an unseen order. And that our supreme good lies in harmoniously adjusting ourselves hereto.

Atheism does not fit the bill.

If atheism were indeed a religion, then theists would have no reason to criticise atheism being taught in schools as part of religious education, or even the setting up of atheist-run schools alongside Baptist, Catholic and Muslim schools.

Somehow, I think voices may be raised in protest should that happen.

What an excellent definition! I say something similar but I don't word it quite as clearly and succinctly.

Religion is a belief in Order. AND harmoniously adjusting ourselves to it. That 'AND' part is very important.

I believe that wearing trainers is good for my posture. This belief is NOT my religion.

I believe that there is a fundamental order to creation, call it God's Will or call it Logos or whatever. That belief is not my religion.

However the practice of harmonizing myself to this Order, of reconciling myself to it, is my religion.

In other words religion is a set of practices based on Beliefs about the world. Religion is not the belief itself.

Is one who believes in the existence of Satan automatically a Satanist?

i love it "However the practice of harmonizing myself to this Order, of reconciling myself to it, is my religion." that is what athiest, christian, muslim etc are all doing -"the practice of harmonizing myself to this Order, of reconciling myself to it, is my religion."

if i may put it directly
Athiest are practicing to harmonizing themself to this Order (which is there is no God), of reconciling themself to it, is thier religion. 

Christians are practicing to harmonizing themself to this Order (which is there is God), of reconciling  themself to it, is thier religion. 

muslim are practicing to harmonizing themself to this Order (which is there is Allah), of reconciling themself to it, is thier religion.

Can u explain what i said in my last post that dosen't make sense?

manmustwac:

everything.

noetic2:

Atheism is as such classified as a belief. . . .since it depends on the hope and faith that there is no GOD.
Atheism as a belief is a such a RELIGION.

Isn't that what u said?

And you say it dosen't make sense. When i asked u why it dosen't make sense the best answer you can come up with is everything Can't u be more specific than that?

No. I said far more than that. . . go back n check.

This is however about what u wrote, it neither has a head nor tail.

hope u didnt refer to my post but if u did thanks but from what i understand about athiest is that all athiest are ever harmonizing themselves to the order - there is no God, and in all ur post is ur continual assertion that God doesnt exist. so what is warped abt that?

So people that harmonise themselves to the order ''i believe in santa clause'' is that religion?
What of those in the order ''i believe in aliens'' guess thats religion too, right?

Like i said your biased christian logic is SERIOUSLY WARPED.

Santa Claus is not an order. You can believe in an inherent order, you can believe in aliens, you can believe your shoes are brown. You can believe a whole heap of different things. That doesn't mean that you are practicing a religion.

@ Pastor AIO

thanks for stating it. i was about to reply him tudor that i dont believe in santa claus so i dont practice santa clausism but i beleieve in the existence of God forever blessed and so i practice working closer and adapting myself to the knowledge of God's existence and everything related to Him.

@Tudor
Even though u dont want to accept this simple explanation, here is it again, u are practicing ur belief - by denying God does not exist  (your order) and always u and all athiest have in your explanation, discussion, presentation have harmonize yourselves to the fact that God does not exist and all that is against the knowledge of God's existence.

Are you blind?
Pastor AIO and I have shown you that believing ain't neccessarily religion and you're still recycling the same old nonsense. Haba!
