      53% of UK population now non-religious, 73% of 18-24 yr-olds. http://bit.ly/2gDlXDh  Good news. Wish it applied to those of Muslim origin.

      Q1. Will the world be a better place without religion? Q2. Isn't Atheism itself a form of religion albeit a godless one?

      1) All else being equal, yes. 2) Not if you define religion in the normal way as a system of beliefs usually involving a supernatural force.

          Alas, all things are not equal. A religion doesn't necessarily need to have a superstitious force at the core of its principles.

          I am asking how you define it so I can address your question of whether atheism fits it. Do u define it as any position on existence of God?

          I can define religion in so many ways. My issue isn't with atheism but the pursuit of atheists to disparage the major religions.

          OK, so when you asked 'isn't atheism itself a form of religion' what did you mean? What argument wld you make that it is?

          Because Atheism is fast becoming a movement just as in the early days of xtianity. All it needs now is the numbers

          Nah. Atheists don't share the same values. Some favour science & rationalism. Biggest movement is anti-science SocJus version.
