Atheism I will grant you is a religious ideology, and can be described as an individuals religious preference. Perhaps religion is going too far though.


Thats a bit of a stretch though, I'm glad you're saying its possibly going too far though. The only thing that Atheism subscribed to is a disbelief in the divine or any other magical like phenomina. Thats all it is, its simply a disbelief and I don't think you can qualify a lack of belief when the burden of proof is so clearly on the religious as a religion. Atheism has no standardised morals, no ways of thinking that everyone subscribes too, no rituals etc. Many Athiests may be rationalists with a strong amount of support for the Scientific method but then again so are many religious people. Not all Athiests are neccesarily as pro science or even care about science at all as they seem.

Which is my point, its hard to call something a religion when its different for every single person.
