    Once again I have to ask: How is a lack of belief in something a religious belief? Anyone?
    Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional minority, and rabidly promoted by the mainstream media which holds forth that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end

    Its not the lack of belief, its the ability to discuss it, as a study group eg to gauruntee time & space available + whatever financial incentive there maybe in organizing.

    It is not the lack of belief, but the belief that when the final synapses in your mind fire out you will be pulled into a great black abyss devoid of existence. I think we should call it The Church of Dark Vaginas.

    Then why call it a religion? Religion is a belief in a deity, what or whoever that may be.



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism

    From Wiki:
    Atheism can be either the rejection of theism, or the position that deities do not exist. In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities
    Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional minority, and rabidly promoted by the mainstream media which holds forth that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end

    One cannot prove that God exists...
    Conversely one cannot prove he/she doesn't
    So if thinking that God exists is a belief
    Then so is thinking that he/she doesn't
    People will call on logic to disprove the existence?
    Hundreds of years ago people a logical man didn't believe man could go to the moon....Some people don't believe to this day:laugh:

    For legal purposes, a religion or the protection provided to a religion is not the same as what most people call religion. Check out the wiki page on the matter:

    If I told you my printing was this good, would you believe me?

    From Wiki:
    Religion is the belief in SOMETHING. Don't make the mistake of pining it down to a deity or as some supernatural function.

    Then call it something else. Call it what it is, an agreement of disbelief looking to share the benefits that orgainized religion enjoys. :thumbsup:
