    No I’m not petty. I mean not responding via strawman, ad hominem, or any other fallacy.

    It would be refreshing to hear a nice and valid argument for a change.

    Satanism is not atheism.Satanism is a religion because they were ship an invisible man also but this one is underground not in the sky. Atheists do not buy into the supernatural

    but they do or are you saying atheists arent real brite? The atheists at atheist central all worship the state as their God. I have yet to run across any atheist without a God after you get to know them.

    riddle me this batman, atheists buy into all sorts of abstractions, what is the difference between the abstractions that atheists hold sacred and the supernatural believers hold sacred? Seems neither of you can touch what you believe to be true.

    They may. Atheism just refers to not accepting a belief in gods.

    Just because these particular atheists create a church and call themselves a religion doesn’t now mean that all atheists are part of this group do you agree?

    And more importantly I still want to know why it matters if atheism is a religion?

    Maybe something, maybe nothing. That would , of course, depend on the specific abstractions and specific supernatural beliefs.

    I believe a succubus sneaked up on Kokopuff, and sucked out his brain.

    so what, why should it be necessary that all atheists agree when all christians do not agree, not all jews agree, not all jw's agree,

    sounds like more 'special' rules for the atheists religion?

    Prorbably because:

    the state is man made absstraction you can neither touch nor see, atheists see the state (criminals) as the highest ideal and aspiration for man.

    Of course, this is dishonest charlatan behavior by the snake oil salesman. All Christians do agree on the basic principles that define them as Christian, just as all atheists agree they do not accept a belief in gods. And this is precisely not religion.

    so then you hide the fact that you agree christianity is not a religion, and atheists do not accept the existence of any gods, a belief is not something you accept its something you do. More neoatheist garbage grammar

    Sorry officially recognized by whom. I didn't even know there was an official atheist governing body. Did I miss the meetings and elections?

    U
    Uh... what? You really cant be honest for even 5 minutes, can you? yes, Christianity is a religion. And atheism is not. As everyone who is not desperately lying and embarrassed of their own faith admits.

    Atheism is the disbief in god or gods. That’s it. Any other belief is their own not of atheism.

    Which leads me to think you probably haven’t met any atheists. I don’t know atheist to worship the state has their god..that’s so silly.
