      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.

      But that's the point isn't it. Atheism isn't just a loose band of people trying to find their way in the dark. They are an organised bunch

      They're not tho. That's the point. What do the SocJus people have in common with the rationalists?

      Most don't even care about my religion. My atheist parents are positive about it. My husband is indifferent.

      But even if they were an organised group, would there be some reason that organised religion is OK but organised atheism is bad?

      No, that was not my point. Religion in my view is not the real problem - the notion that one's ideology is better than the other is.

      We can argue for different ideologies, surely! Different views of the world? Muslims don't have to say Christianity is equally true?!

      I can prefer liberalism to conservatism? Humanism to religion?

      We progress in liberal democracies by protecting the right to hold & express a variety of ideas. We don't have to hold them all equal.
