Do you guys think atheism is a religion?

I do. It requires just as much faith as any other metaphysical belief system. It has even taken science and government for its supreme “deities”.

“No religion” is outpacing Christianity as one of America’s fastest-growing religions. In a recent Pew Research poll, 40% of Millennials identify as “unaffiliated”.

    The odds of life originating by itself being 1 in 10^164th power puts faith in atheism off the table for me. Lol. No such thing as “simple” life and the evidence for Jesus is incredible. ?

  2. Shawn McComas says:

    If atheists refer to God as magic, I’d rather believe in a God abracadabra’ing for six days and acknowledge it’s magic, rather than believe in nothing abracadabra’ing for billions of years and yet be delusional arguing it’s a natural process.

    It’s completely laughable.

  3. Randy Steinke says:

    Government is a phenomenon that belongs to THEISM! All authority is from God. Universal human rights is a rejection of Evolutionary dogma!

  4. Robert Pearce says:

    Every person believes in something, whether it’s some form of deity or ourselves, and we act according to our beliefs. However, only one belief has positive eternal rewards.

  5. Marc Raphael says:

    That’s like saying there’s order in chaos

  6. David Jackson says:

    Everyone believes in a miracle. Lol. Ask the atheist to finish this statement, “in the beginning…..”. Their next words will describe a miracle. ?

  7. Max Gooche Edwards says:

    Atheism is a religion just like not collecting stamps is a hobby. Atheism is simply the absence of belief and not a declaration of belief in any deity religious philosophy.

  8. Tommy S. Hancock says:

    I believe I remember hearing or reading the SCOTUS had declared it a religion. My assumption here is that a religion would be defined philosophically as those believes that inform, influence, and guide.

  9. Jackson Lim says:

    Yep they have so much faith believing that every living creature came from primodial soup

  10. Josh LeClear says:

    By definition, No. By a cultural standard, sure.

  11. Dylan Hardesty says:

    Atheism believes in something metaphysical?

  12. Zach Payne says:

    This is good. Yes, atheism, by definition is a belief system and a religion.

  13. D.j. Hariford says:

    Atheism is a faith belief.

  14. Matthew Nelson says:

    Atheism is a religion based on the ideology of materialism Just like Christianity is based on monotheism. The question is whitch religious perspective is true

  15. Naathan Lewis says:

    Atheism is just naturalism in disguise. If you’re an atheist who isn’t a naturalist, you’re an agnostic.

  16. Jamie Howard says:

    An atheist is someone who is not convinced that a god exists.
    It takes zero faith to not be convinced of something.

  17. Terence Otter says:
  18. Harvey Ward says:

    The alternative is laughably unlikely.

  19. David Robertson says:

    What if the atheists made up a religion?

  20. Oly Jnathan says:

    Being an Atheist is hard, you have to be stubborn to the max in denying the presence of God. No matter how many evidences presented, one still doesn’t see it. – ie: child birth in mother’s womb. How Atheist explains how unique the process is right from the very beginning till the child is delivered..

  21. S Wesley Mcgranor says:

    The average Millenials are post-Christian and the grandkids of hippies.

  22. Adam Monty says:

    If atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps and not believing in fairies is also a religion…

  23. Dan Perry says:

    I do not believe atheism is a religion. It is the complete absence of religion subsequently the name atheism. No belief.
    If you choose to objectify this lack of belief and deep inverted personal pride and egotism than you are in error.

  24. Adam Monty says:

    is not believing that the loch ness monster exists a religion?

  25. Ady Vancea says:

    Its însanity

  26. Ron Holmes says:

    The definition of religion includes “a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance.” Atheism fits that definition. One must have faith to believe its tenets.

  27. S Wesley Mcgranor says:

    Atheism is what you all are.

  28. Nick Shara says:

    As far as I’m concerned the only actual non-religious people are those who claim they “don’t care” about the subject. Everyone else belongs to a religion. Atheists deists agnostics, those are all beliefs. Even the goofy group that says we have a “lack of belief”, they still affirmatively hold opinions, which by definition ARE beliefs.
