It is a religion against religion, think about it!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.


Edit:
I am just trying to get you to see the irony in proclaiming oneself as an Atheist!.
Religion is defined as follows:

"Religion is often described as a communal system for the coherence of belief focusing on a system of thought, unseen being, person, or object, that is considered to be supernatural, sacred, divine, or of the highest truth!."

Atheism falls in the very first definition of Religion by default!. It is a communal system for the coherence of belief focusing on a system of thought, in this case the system of thought as an atheist is as the of the very definition of Atheism implies:

"Atheism, as an explicit position, can be either the affirmation of the nonexistence of gods,[1] or the rejection of theism!.[2] It is also[3] defined more broadly as synonymous with any form of nontheism, including the simple absence of belief in deities!."

A communal belief in the nonexistence of God, ironically falls within the definition of religion itself!.

It may sound strange, but in a logical sense, Atheism is an organized religion against the belief of organized religion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Demonized and willfully misunderstood by believers!. Not unlike blacks were a century ago, when certain whites gleefully perpetuated all manner of misinformation and caricatures of them!. Atheists are not so much legally persecuted anymore, but still culturally!. Believers say we're amoral, nihilists, confused, in denial, in despair, bitter, elitist, leftists, and many more things which are 180 degrees wrong!. If atheists sometimes come off as intellectually superior, it's because we're floating alone in a sea of ignorance, hatred and superstition!. If atheists sometimes come off as bitter, it's because we're sick and tired of the lies and misrepresentations about us!. (Seriously, where do some of the above answerers GET their info about atheists!?)

Materialism, atheism, is the maximation of ugliness, the climax of the finite antithesis of the beautiful!. Highest beauty consists in the panorama of the unification of the variations which have been born of pre-existent harmonious reality!.

Caste alone could not perpetuate the Aryan religio-cultural system, and as the inferior religions of the Deccan permeated the north, there developed an age of despair and hopelessness!. It was during these dark days that the cult of taking no life arose, and it has ever since persisted!. Many of the new cults were frankly atheistic, claiming that such salvation as was attainable could come only by man's own unaided efforts!. But throughout a great deal of all this unfortunate philosophy, distorted remnants of the Melchizedek and even the Adamic teachings can be traced!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Till very recently, I was an athiest!. but since I started reading spiritual books, I am no more one!. And I understand now why I was an athiest!. It's all been misunderstood!. God's not outside of us, it's in us!. It's our own essence!. God is just another term that many use!. So I would suggest that all those who call themselves athists!.!.!. read some spiritual books!. It's enlightening and makes perfect sense and helps solve many doubts and heavy questions!. It did to me!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
