Re: Is atheism a religion
It depends on how you define religion. If you mean something that has beliefs and goals inherent in it, then absolutely not, it doesn't meet any of those criteria, but if you mean something that defines a position with regard to religious belief, I have no problem identifying atheism along that continuum, it is the lack of belief in any of the supernatural things that other religions believe in.
