mLine 7:
Line 7: − − No, you don't have to serve any particular deity. And by the way, is skepticism of deities a religion? Is agnosticism a religion? Heck, is even deism a religion ? If not, then atheism isn't a religion. If yes, then show me evidence that agnosticism is a religion. Line 37:
Line 35: − − Ok, he didn't answered because he didn't dispute the fact that atheism is a religion (which is completely and utterly false) but the fact that the format was more of a point of view rather than a fact-based article. Now, just to tell you, a religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence. It is composed of a belief in a deity, stories and rules (religious rules). Atheism has no stories, no particular belief or cultural system. You could argue that atheism is becoming more and more of a worldview (which isn't true either, it's just less ridiculous than saying atheism is a religion, when it is a LACK of religion. I hope you will either take down or change partially your article so it is more fact-based. − − No it isn't an argument against a deity, it is a counter argument against the argument of design, which is often used by creationists. It is also an argument that God wasn't necessary for our creation. And by the way, irrational thinking isn't necessary religious. You just bashed every religion by stating (by mistake I guess) that religions are irrational.

::I never said atheism is true, and I never said atheism is not a religion, so I have no obligation to support either of those positions. My concern is limited to the ''form'' of this article, not its content. At [[Conservapedia:Essays]] it says, "Unlike articles, essays may represent a particular point of view." [[Atheism is a religion]] represents a particular point of view on an issue that is the subject of debate (as is stated in its first sentence). It is an essay.

::::AndrewLe, are you an atheist? If so, what proof and evidence do you have that atheism is true? By the way, I changed the beginning of the article. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 17:28, 27 July 2014 (EDT)

Arguing for or against biological evolution is not an argument for or against the existence of a deity - it is only an argument for or against the assertion that the earth is both young and that observable lifeforms were created and have always existed in its present form. The fact that even atheists who accept evolution believe it is evidence against the existence of a deity is evidence of a persistent strain of irrational thinking among many of them.
