I grew up without religion and don't believe in things that can't be proven.

the topic is on atheism and i'm giving another perspective on atheism

whether my perspective is irrelevent or not is subjective i personally believe that it is in indeed relevent 

or in other words "you've done nothing of the sort" i disagree

ironically while my post was actually on the topic of atheism your post was simply an attempt at assuming the role of a mod

So if you played the game Okami does that mean you "unintenionally" or "implicitly?" worship Amaterasu? Because I read The Chronicles of Narnia when I was a kid and enjoyed them despite the Christian messaging I must be a Christian implicitly? 

Buying a car with the name Mazda or Saturn implying implicit theism is a silly concept. For starters I don't think the people at Toyota coined Mazda because they are Zoroastrians. Engangement rings originated in Rome (arguably even the Egyptians) and seemed to have a non-religious, but philosophical connotation. I don't see why only religious people can follow the tradition. 

But that is all besides the point, following traditions out of social convention and worshipping a deity let alone accepting the existance of one are two entirely different things and I really don't see the connection here. 

Not really, I'm just suggesting you stick to what the OP was looking for, rather than clearly trying to bait people into a derailing of the thread.  But hey, do what you want. 

"Buying a car with the name Mazda or Saturn implying implicit theism is a silly concept"

well that is your opinion

if i carried a t shirt bearing the flag of america around in britain people would get the idea that i am american or that i am supportive of america

sure the point could be made that yes america is a widely acknowledged country whereas most people today even though they adopt the symbols in almost everything they do don't know about mazda for example

and that's my point people blindly do these things without bothering to understand and that is the main criticism of theists so to me it just comes off as hypocritical

" Engangement rings originated in Rome " no

"and seemed to have a non-religious, but philosophical connotation. " well  it does indeed have a religious origin as all of these symbols do most if not all of the old philosophers were theists

"following traditions out of social convention and worshipping a deity let alone accepting the existance of one are two entirely different things"

yes i conceded that it would be ridiculous to equate the two

but you have to agree that "following traditions out of social convention" is "irrational" according to atheists and one of the main criticisms they level at theists

Believe it or not, despite being an athiest - religions and myths have interested me since I was young. I've consumed plenty of content and items that involves religious figures.  If we go by this logic, I am a gnostic, christian, muslim, shamanist, shintoist, jew, buddhist, odinist, and satanist all at once, as I've written (unpublished) short stories involving all of these religions or concepts common to all of these religions. 

do you still present symbols of those ideaologies to this day? or did you explore them for a while and leave them behind?

well depending on what you are willing to believe it obviously goes beyond what we have on cars

why do we call the first day of the week SUNday for example and why do we call the last SATURNday? why do we call the end of the day sunSET?

who put all of these traditions in place? and could it be possible that they are still setting the newer traditions that we are beginning to adopt today?

in my opinion yes that is exactly what is happening and the evidence is all there for anyone to explore

anyway that's besides the point my point was that the main criticism of theism is the irrationality of following traditions that were handed down to you

people claim they want to "progress" beyond the past and that's why we have to criticise people who uhgold these retarded archaic theisms 

these same people as i'm saying do not acknowledge their own guilt in this regard

there is nothing new under the sun as some people say... in many ways this is right

I want to quote you to say that your answers cover my thoughts. Thanks for saving me from the work to type it myself.

Morality is the best stuff because religion loses that in the form of wars and intolerance.
