Saying atheism is a religion is like saying that not doing anything is a hobby

Worst analogy ever.

That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. My analogy is better since atheism is essentially "none of the above".

we clearly have different opinions about what constitutes a religion

Edited by john5550: 7/28/2013 10:53:37 PMYou mean a set of beliefs? Atheism isn't a set of beliefs. It's a lack of belief in one thing. It's a single answer to a single question. Whether you're a theist.

No it is a set of beliefs... You believe that when you die consciousness is forever gone. That is a belief. It is also the belief that the Universe was created in a specific manner, rather than other theologies theories of how everything came to be.
