POLL: Is ATHEISM a religion? Please RT. I want a large sample size.
Everything else is just being human. Family, friends, pets, career, interests leisure etc.

Yes, you value things arbitrarily according to subjective standards,& have no claim to any inherent, enduring meaning. It's called Nihilism.
-
I don't think it is. I'm just a normal human being with normal human needs for partner, children, friends, love & intellectual pursuits.

I'm glad to hear that Helen. I'm sure you're a sweetie; the only thing is consistent atheism is a black hole of truth & meaning.
-
What is consistent atheism? People either have a god-belief or they don't. I don't. You can believe I'm mistaken about that one thing, obv.
-
And that its a very important thing to get right but I'm still not that different to you. We probably share most of our values.
-
Indeed. Here's the point: non-belief in God is a positive claim,i.e."I can have true knowledge about reality," or, "I have a working mind."
-
How is that the point? I don't believe in any god. One might exist. It doesn't affect anyone else & I support religious freedom.
-
If you believe in a god, this is probably more important to you because we are motivated by the things we do believe in.
