Anyone else find it baffling when people claim atheism is a religion? Atheism is NOT a religion. [Spirituality & Religion]
I know some theists like to call it a religion for reasons i'm not clear on but it simply isn't.

@SW-User [quote]they have a belief system[/quote]
1. there's no proof that gods exist (or we'd all be theists)
2. there's no proof that magical entities don't exist (they might be lurking around a mountain-top somewhere)
3. there's no compelling necessity to postulate the existence of magical entities (and the postulation explains nothing... it seeks to merely explain everything away)
4. therefore I have no gods
Can you identify any sort of 'belief system' in that?

Last time I checked, Atheism was a -lack- of religion. 🙄
It isn’t !

The real question is that why do they think that? Why do they feel the need to classify it as religion?

@Celine It's also because it causes a lot of internal conflicts so their mind justifies it as some sort of belief as a reason to not question theirs.

It's not baffling. It's stupid and cowardly.

Look at cargo cults lol.. people will make a religion out of anything even non animate objects. Atheism is a lack of belief in God/religion but they don't see it that way.

They call it a belief system. because not believing is as good as believing to them. IDK, they're just running out of ways to argue with people who don't believe what they say is real.

Ricky Gervais is atheism 😂

Lol 😂 he said he was a proud atheist at the oscars - when he had to host it, said he was going to hell for not believing in god too he made it apart of his one liners but he is actually atheist and very proud of it. @SW-User

@SW-User I loved two of his shows, but he’s an ass. I’m not proud of being an atheist.
