    Well im athiest, and if you actually knew anything about America, youd know that the founding fathers were actually athiest, and that they didnt celebrate christmas..

    You must not know athiests at all if youre also saying that they dont have any morals..AND, you can be a hard working family and be athiest.

    The reason im athiest is because my parents were open minded with religion around me. I used to be christian. Isnt that how its supposed to be? I believe that children should be introduced to certain religions at a certain age so they can decide for themselves what religion they believe in.

    And theres nothing wrong with gay marriage, it should be a right as an american to marry whoever they want. Athiesm is MY religion. So arent you taking away my freedom of religion?

    Youre very narrow minded, but i guess thats normal for you, after all you go to church...

        atheism is so a religion, if you don't want to define it as a 'religion' it is as much a belief system as christianity, im too tired and baked to provide the proof might do it later,

          Wrong. Atheism is not a religion, and neither is theism.

          Atheism is a lack of belief - atheists don't believe in God. Beyond that, atheists vary greatly in their views on the origin of the universe, morality and everything else. Also some atheists claim there is *definitely* no God, while other atheists will claim it's not 100% knowable, yet improbable - and with no evidence to suggest believing it is a good idea.

            but a lack of belief can also be viewed as a belief of not believing. the human mind assumes and believes; we believe in science most of the time because it makes logical sense, yet it is still a belief system. If humans lack the power to believe we lose our cognitive power. Atheism, the -ism itself suggest that it is a belief; a belief in no deities yet noneheless a belief.

            Atheists do vary greatly in their ideologies but one can't deny that one has to believe in no deities to be atheist. I would argue that just like how the abrahamic traditions believe in a God which is the starting point of all their doctrines, atheists fundamentally believe in no God and formulate 'doctrines' (in modern society we call them philosophies or theory on human nature, many existentialist philosophers come to mind atm)

            So all in all, atheism is at best another belief system even if you don't consider it a religions(which in my case I do since they are so similar)

            to deny belief is to deny our existence
