You would have to vote for everyone in your chosen political party and would have to actively participate in religious customs.

...Atheism isn't a religion.
Aleksander Mortensen
Atheism is a lack of belief, so it isn't a religion. But if we have no religion and change religion... do we change to a religion? We don't really change religion then, it's joining one... so...?
SAUCY SCOTSMAN
Except you know, for Hinduism which believes in hundreds of deities, and Islam or Christianity which have one. So go fuck yourself troll.

atheism is religion...u believe that u dont believe in anything
VViP30U7
it's not a religion, it's a religious standpoint
Jordan Gill
You are basically using the definition of "religion" to explain how Atheism is not a religion. Yeah, flawless logic!
Blurtex33
Calling atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair color, or not collecting stamps a hobby. Atheism is simply a lack of belief in a god or gods, nothing more. If we deconstruct the term ‘atheism’ we find ‘a – theism’ which means ‘without – theism’ which, in turn, means ‘without – belief in god(s)’. It is, therefore, not a positive belief or a claim to knowledge. Instead, it is the default position of doubt, uncertainty and skepticism one may have regarding claims made by theists. Every human-being ever born begins life as an implicit atheist and must be taught the concept of theism or, more commonly, indoctrinated with it. Atheism has no sacred texts, objects, places or times, no rituals or creation stories, no positive beliefs, central tenants, modes of worship or supernatural claims, no implicit or derived moral codes, philosophies or world views and no central organisation or church. It fulfills none of the criteria that define a religion. Atheists may subscribe to any additional ideologies, philosophies and belief systems they choose, eg. Buddhism, Jainism, Universalism, Environmentalism, Pragmatism, Liberalism, Socialism, Libertarianism, Conservatism, etc. They may even appreciate components of traditional religion and spiritualism, including any supernatural elements unrelated to a god. Common among many atheists, however, is an appreciation for secularism, rationalism, humanism, skepticism, naturalism, materialism and freethinking – none of which are implicit or derived from atheism, nor necessary in order to lack belief.

So you being an atheist would stop being an atheist and pick a religion before you would pick another political party. Nice to know.
Petar Bajakov
Parties are all the same, too.
Sandi Campbell
Except the ones that have no God... you know... like Buddhism? Or ones that have multiple Gods, like Mythology or Hindi? But thanks for proving you only know about the three major religions. There's also only two political parties, right? -_-

How are they all the same?

Blurtex33, you are exactly what i would describe as a closemimded asshole. Most of your accusations are correct about atheism, free-minded, rational and whatnot, but atheism is a religion, just not an organized religion. Atheists, such as myself, believe there is no god/higher power. But just because we have no church, special holidays, or worshipings,
John Roman
(accident) does not mean that it is not a religion. We don't have churches because a church without a god to worship would be an extreme waste of time. Same goes for holidays. I know you probably won't read this, but hopefully other people will.

ooh. wow. umm Its mean and disrespectful to say all religions are the same. You shouldn't bash on them because you don't believe in god. What i mean is, i'm sure quite a number of people who are really religious would maybe find that offensive. Just like a person who believes in god bashing on atheists is mean and disrespectful.

Actually atheism is the belief that there is no god. So it is a religion!
Primus
Atheists do not exist, because that would mean having true proof that one does not exist, and having any "proof" would mean that one does, in fact, exist. Agnostic is the closest you'll get.

@Joe-Joe A religion is something that a lot of people believe in one thing, ever heard of Buddhism? believing that there is no God (Atheism) is still a lot of people believing in one thing
Brianna Moore
No their not

the fact that you say all the religions are the same is stupid.

Ahhhh No there are tons of different religions and many of them have entire different beliefs. My point is your fucking dumb not to know that.

Atheism actually believe in something. Think about this. They believe that a SPECK of dust created the world.

Atheism is as much of a religion as Being bald is a hair style.

Satanism, Buddhism?

Muslims are nothing like christians or hindus. Political parties are just the same
Caley House-Klecker
Athiesm is believing there is no God.

Islamic people are basically told "If other people aren't Islamic, kill them and have sex slaves." Christians (like myself) are told to love all people. I'm not sure about other beliefs, but that alone shows they differ.
Hannah Ohene-Amoako
Atheism is the belief that there is no god. The word for "god" is in that word, people. It doesn't mean you don't believe in anything.

@Primus You can't proof god exists, either. What's your point?
Connor Wallace

Superstar McAwesomeville
How dare you?! Religions are beautifully different; they add colour, life and belief to our culture; how dare you say such an offensive and ignorant thing?!

Religions are destroying the world. We should just abolish them all so everybody can get along for once.instead of killing each other in the name of nonexistent gods.

Not all religions are the same.. Christianity (aka me) believes that there is one god that came to earth to die for us! B/c he loved us so much! And he rose again 3 days after) compare that to Norman's

right
Somerandom guy
Shut up spencer! You have no idea what you are talking about you idiotic freak of nature!! Sorry for being rude but that was VERY offensive to say
Somerandom guy
Cody dudash, go shoot yourself, what you just said is the biggest pile of crap that people claim. Religion doesn't destroy the world! People use it as a sorry excuse! Pornography, violence, improper upbringing, drug abuse, greed, romanticizing murder in video games, disrespect, foolishly acting, rage, these among other things are what destroy this world! Not religion

Primus, God is unfalsifiable hypothesis, meaning there is no evidence to show any existence or lack thereof, so basically, nobody can prove God(s) exists and nobody can prove definitively that it doesn't. Your religion is what you choose to believe. I believe there is no God because it seems illogical and only constructed to quell fear of the unknown, e.g. What happens when I die, how was the universe created. There is value in religion, but in my opinion it should not be beloved as fact because it is so ridiculous

i dont have or know what a political party is, and i dont want to burn in hell like the worlds athiest freaks
SatanicShite
Atheists do not believe there's no God, they just don't believe there's a God. The difference is that the belief that there's no God implies a positive claim that requires proof, while the DISbelief in a God implies a negative claim, and the only requirement for such a claim is the absence of proof for the positive claim that "there is a God". Since there truly is no proof for "there is a God", the disbelief in a God is logically valid, so atheism is not a religion, but rather a logical standpoint.
Ryan

Seeing how I'm independent, and my view is that politicians in general suck, all I would have to do is pick a party.

Try Libertarian.

Agh, I wish I chose red now. Anyway, Libertarians are basically conservatives that like marijuana. They're not much different from the American Democrats or Republicans.

Not caring about politics as an educated adult is stupid. Changing your religion from a non-follower's standpoint is as simple as changing your favorite fairy tale.
bannanaking
Unless you actually believe what your religion says. It all comes down to whether you truly believe your religion.
William
But being a full on Buddhist would be cool/
Purple Atma
1. Go stick your head in a pig! 2. It doesn't matter, you could just change it back. 3.From a non-non-follower, it's not. 4. Both answers suck in general.
Mac
I love my religion and would not be able to change it. There are many political parties so you can study which you agree with most every election and change to the one you trust most.

I guess i could change from Atheist to Pastafarian, i suppose. :)

I'll stay a Democrat, thanks. Plus, all religions are based on the same morals. The issue is that people blow them out of proportion and believe things that aren't there.

Of course. And the Son of God suffered for all our sins so people can freely be Atheistic and agnostic; as long as they don't do the unthinkable, like murder.

Scientology here i come!

Technically, anything can be a religion. If you believe in the holy potato, that can be your religion. I don't believe in a god, so my religion is basically atheism. But, I can change it to not believing in religion. So ha, bitch

I'm too deeply embedded in my religion to even think of changing. I don't even care about politics, either, so this was a fairly easy question! =)

axialgold
Every time i tell a christian that im athiest they try to convince me to believe in god, p.s. theres no proof AT ALL that god exsists
Red panda brony
-axialgold- exactly they have no proof at all it makes no sense religion was created to help understand the unknown
BlameTheNarwhals
Religions were created because those creators were at least intelligent enough to know that there is a God.
Bob Bob
There is a reason there is no proof of a God, it is that you must be able to have faith in something you don't know is real or not
