Captain, need I remind you that the position of "no religion" is itself a religious position, and thus, paradoxically, "'NO' religion" is still religion?
You can disclaim the need for a sacred text -- that is a religious statement.
No it's not.
You can deny the existence of a Deity -- that is a religious statement.
No it's not.
You can deny that anything beyond the empirical world of the senses exists -- that is a religious statement.
No it's not.
When you make religious statements, you are practicing religion.
That is true.
What unites the Atheist with the Fundamentalist is their fervent faith in their own beliefs; one is neither more nor less religious than the other.
This exposes your lack of understand of atheism.
