The practical point being so that atheists may know that atheism is a religion insofar as the practical definition of the term is concerned.

On your first point: “You’re an idiots comment makes total sence.” Well, that’s your personal opinion, but that doesn’t mean that you’re right.

On your second point “I believe that the world was created when 1000 years ago a unicorn let a big fart. That is my religion. You don’t believe me? Well, in that case your ‘not believing’ in the power of a unicorn’s fart is a religion as well.
You made up a story, atheists don’t care about your story and see no reason to believe it. That doesn’t make the ‘not caring’ a religion.”

Certainly so! According to the legal definition provided for by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, even not believing or the attitude of nonbelief, disbelief, unbelief and even suspension of belief is a religion, since it defines religion as what the person professes. So here’s some piece of unsolicited advice: Beware of the pitfalls of definition. Make sure that you meant what you have in mind, since definition has many ramifications.

On your third point: “There is no empirical basis for NOT believing something that doesn’t have an empirical basis?” Well, that may be. But, have you also realized that the preceding statement itself, is not a statement of fact, but only an assumption that needs to be proved in the first place. The part that says: “that doesn’t have an empirical basis?” is nothing but a statement of belief as well. According to the rules of logic: absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence.

On your fourth point: “That statement is almost funny…
Go tell that story in any university where decent science is conducted and they will wipe the floor with you… Seriously…”

But the twist of irony is: who’s funnier now?

In the end, we may not agree on some points, but you are entitled to your own opinion, and I respect that. God bless!

If atheism is a religion then not collecting stamps is a hobby.
