would you define atheism as a religion?
a) yes as organized religion dwindles and atheists numbers swell, it will become that.
2)no, it will never happen, atheism its a simply a lack of belief …nothing else
why do you think so?
please age and background ..

Atheism isn’t even really a “thing” period, any more than a “non-racist” is a thing. The non-belief in something shouldn’t require a term, but until the world has come to a point at which most people stop believing in ancient myths and start trusting in themselves and human capacity for thinking and learning, it will require ridiculous specificity. This is why I’ve decided to stop using any terms to define my “beliefs”.
What do I believe regarding creation, higher powers, and the meaning of life?
1. We’re working on it, but we have some theories.
2. Math, science, and the laws that govern the cosmos. (Where did they come from? Necessity of function.)
3. Whatever one makes of it. I love experiencing life, and i wish to maximize that enjoyment for myself and others. Plain and simple. If that makes me selfish, then so be it.
I will always live by my favorite saying, two simple words: Do Better. If we’re always striving for more, then we will always have new things to look forward to learning. And that inspires me.
