One has to be religious to oneself even if not attached to any other established religion.

So Sin & Karma does exist as one cannot escape one's self.
@in10RjFox very philosophical

@Phantome and that's religion right ? 😀😀
@in10RjFox That's life you mean ?

@Phantome yup. Life is a philosophy .. in other words philosophy is the basis of the world.
@in10RjFox It could be, Atheitism is a phisophy, religion, death , life , etc..... although being a philosophy doesn't make it true

@Phantome atheism is not yet a philosophy as nobody as yet sat down to write one .. as they are just those considered nonbelievers by the theists.

But the other part I don't get you. Any Truth is an hypothesis and is based on a philosophy.
@in10RjFox so if you don't believe in God and you think its the truth is it a philosophy ?

@Phantome Not believe in God, is like saying Not believing in Superman or Spiderman, that are fictional characters, for one is only denying a God created as a fictional character by someone else. So one has to be more specific by saying "I don't believe in the concept of God" is a different argument.

Again, when I do not know if there is any god or not or don't believe in that concept, then I have to establish its truth by a philosophy that "God does not exist in any form or as a force or activity beyond", which nobody can, as there are many things that happen which cannot be explained, but understood.

For instance, one has the right to establish Nature, Fate, Time as the God. Personally I call fate, as Almighty Fate, whenever I need to refer to god, to reason or comprehend something.

Hope you see the difference, for not believing in someone's god or God as referred to in general, and saying that there is No god at all.

Paganism, Voodoiism etc. too are atheists in strict sense, but have established their belief as religion, by defining their own god / deity etc.
@in10RjFox Thank you for that info
