Characteristic =/= requirement
The null hypothesis is that there is no god. To then make the case for religion requires proof.
Atheists make the claim that such evidence is insufficient and hence their stance returns back to the null.
Atheism wlll never have its messiahs, dogmas, scrolls, or temples. Think of every requirement of a theistic belief, and take it all away. And what do you have = atheism.
"Why is the word religion so offensive to an an atheist? "
No one is taking offensive. We are merely retorting your frenzied assertion that atheism is a religion, which is clearly not true.
