Debate:Is atheism a religion? (view source)
Revision as of 15:08, June 1, 2013

Atheism is the rejection of religion. By definition, it cannot be a religion. Someone in the yes column said that atheism was a religion because atheists take to heart that there is no god. But that is the exact opposite of what atheism actually is. There is no taking anything to heart.

You see the quotes about "atheism is a religion like..." think about this: "atheism is a religion like theism is a religion" I think that people who are atheists might have a religion that involves there not being a god, but in a general sense atheism is not a religion. I would go as far to say atheism is the lack of a clearly defined religion. But that is not to say that atheists make statements about their beliefs, it's just that atheism isn't their religion. --[[User:Mdamber|Mdamber]] 11:08, 1 June 2013 (EDT)
