Atheists are Brainwashing my KidsMy parents put me in a school that chose all of my classes for me and forced me to pray and study the Bible every single day as well as attending church and youth group over the weekend. The books in the school library were hand-picked; every last bit of information was thoroughly filtered. Pages in our science textbooks that didn't agree with the creation story were often ripped out or censored. They told us blatant, offensive lies about the culture and beliefs of others, and taught us to ridicule and disregard any belief different than ours. I was not allowed to watch television, only pre-watched and pre-approved video tapes that did not co

@SchwarzerRitter. Actually the definition of religion is "a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs". I can write about atheism and explain why it's better than religion, so to convince people to stay by my side, BUT, since atheism is not involved in the sacred/metaphysic dimension, nor in rituals, trying to explain the nature of our world and our morality by rationality, It is not considerable a religion anyway.

I think it's better to actually click "reply" to them. They won't see that here.

nah

Kind of. Atheism itself is not a religion.

But there are atheists who write books explaining why atheism is better than religion and who meet to discuss how atheism is better than religion.
Once you start proselytising you turn it into a religion.

True, calling Atheism a religion is a HUGE contradiction. It's at most; a lifestyle choice.

~Bloo-coyote Feb 10, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

It isn't a lifestyle for me. I personally believe atheism is what you make of it. You start by not believing in a supreme being, and you choose where you go from there.

~bizrat Feb 10, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I don't think it's much of a lifestyle, but I believe that that's as close to religion as it should be. Anything farther contradicts the belief itself, making it exactly what the group is against.
