Is Atheism a religion?

[OpiatefortheMasses]

Atheism a religion? It seems highly unlikely that the polar position to theism would be considered a religion but it seems the comparison is made quite a bit. When you look at what can be considered intrinsic properties of a religion it really doesn't stick to well. Unlike a religion, atheism has no systematic beliefs, rituals or doctrine so as to how it could be considered a religion in that rite is a mystery. If any of you honestly believe that atheism is a religion I would much appreciate it if you explained why you believe that and how you believe this is true.

Christianity has so much hypocrisy, hypocrisy that is governing its every move, how can a rational mind even begin to believe in this religion? Creationists base all of their beliefs in the book of Genesis, a Christian RE-written version of the text. Never mind that the Jewish bible has a different version, never mind that the teachings of the Zohar (another version) dispels everything in Genesis, never mind that there are other disputed versions within the realm of Judea….this is the one they base their belief in, this is the one the word of god resides in….even though this version came to them from ROME!
What does this mean, it means their version is a much younger version, even younger than their own bible…. It also means the bibles version has little in common with the original Judean tale….Therefore, science must be wrong because this book of Genesis that no Christian knows anything about is believed in because it’s the bible found in the dining room table ….what a JOKE!

Pauline "Christianity" has little to do with the Law, the prophets, or the Testimony of Yeshua. The problem is that you seem to want to throw out the baby with the bath water. The founders of this country, such as Jefferson, saw the problems with religion, and made sure that state and religion were separated, but he also understood the good parts of the bible, that part which was not corrupted by Rome. The strength of the country comes from the constitution those men wrote, and it is now in jeopardy of being over turned by people without the moral character and strength of men who believed in God, and acted on their beliefs. You may think you know more then those simple men, but I think todays society has been corrupted by too many Dunkin Donuts, too many episodes of Friends, and associate professors, such as our current president Obama. Junk food, junk TV, and junk schooling. You don't need to worry about the Roman church. It is going to be eaten alive by the countries that supported it. Italy is now going to tax the church, and eventually, so will Greece, Ireland, Portugal, etc. The only money left in those countries belongs to the churches.

Posted in the wrong thread, sorry folks…my bad.
