Debate:Is atheism a religion? (view source)
Revision as of 23:33, December 21, 2015
, 23:33, December 21, 2015added clarification to NO
Atheism is defined as the disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings. If you consider the disbelief in god/gods to be a religion, then you can also say that Christians have more than one religion because they don’t believe in the Greek god Zeus or in Allah, the Muslim God. Basically, all Christians are then both Christian and Atheist. --[[User:Atheistftw|Atheistftw]] 11:03, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

"We are all athiests I just happen to believe in one less god than you"-I forget who said it but I feel it sums up this debate quite well--[[User:DerikJ|DerikJ]] 10:02, 27 February 2010 (EST)

Atheism's lack of belief in a God is no more religious than Christianity's disbelief in any other god is religious. What makes belief religious is positive belief in a deity, not negative belief about other deities. [[User:Jpope14|Jpope14]] 13:37, 26 June 2012 (EDT)

No, even though some like the unpleasant [[Richard Dawkins]] push it as fervently as any religious fundamentalist does. Most, I would go far as nearly all, simply don't care. They do not believe in God and have no interest in religion whatsoever.--[[User:Patmac|Patmac]] 11:35, 1 June 2013 (EDT)

Not believing in something is not a religion. Is not believing in reincarnation a religion? Whether one believes in god(s) or not can be an element of one's religious opinion(s) but it is not, as such, a religion.
