Thanks for proving my point. Global warming is a scientific theory, not a belief system. No scientist believes in global warming.
Nearly all scientists accept it as fact based on empirical evidence.
Global warming doesn't meet the WordWeb definition of religion that I quoted nor the dictionary.com one that you quoted
.
They believe man made global warming is real. That is a belief. And they do all sorts practices based on that belief. It is a religion.I do not know what part of the definition you were looking at but dictionary.com confirms that believing in the man made global warming fairy tale is a religion.

and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons
Religious practices- recycling, driving hybrid cars, buying only recycled good or recyclable goods, have rain water collection, solar power, push for carbon credits and anything else done because of your belief in the man made global warming fairy tale.
Religion | Define Religion at Dictionary.com
the body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefs and practices
It's a scientific theory backed up by evidence and is supported by near unanimous agreement in the scientific community.
It does not no have unanimous agreement in the scientific community.
It has nothing to do with religion.
Again you are making the assumption religion has to involve the belief in a deity. It does not and I have proven to you more than once that it does not have to involve the belief in a deity. It is a certain set of beliefs and practices agreed up a certain number of people of sect. This is why belief in the man made global warming fairy tale is a religion . It doesn't matter if every eco-tard believes that the man made global warming fairy tale is real.
To find a scientist who doesn't support it, you have to scrape the crackpot barrel, which is exactly what right-wing radio extremists do.
No you don't. Screaming big oil paid for the study does not in any shape or form discredit them. The fact is climate change is something tha has been occurring naturally for billions of years on this planet. Scientists have not proved this to be any different in the last hundred years
Even if somehow 99.99% of scientists somehow got it wrong,
If 99% of the scientist actually looked into it instead of just looking at someone else's study and nodding their head then yes they are wrong.
they still erred while using the scientific method with observation and experimentation, not the belief in magic. Buddhists still believe in unprovable faith-based items like karma and nirvana.
Again religion does not have to require the belief in a deity or the supernatural or magic.
You need to learn the difference between belief and knowledge. Belief systems are unprovable and faith-based. Knowledge systems are based on observation and making a reasonable explanation based on provable data.
You need to look at a dictionary. Again religion does not have to involve the belief in a deity, magic, supernatural or any other related stuff.
Many people, yourself included, can't distinguish between knowledge and belief, and, hence, irrationally dismiss scientific evidence in favor of irrational belief. As a result, governments get paralyzed from taking action that has the chance to prevent catastrophe. Thank you for stepping in and proving my point about how religion causes more harm than good.
You are just another atheist who has no idea what the hell you are talking about.
