Atheism is a religion.

I'd call it the refusal of religion. And to call it a religion you really play down what it's supposed to represent. So no, I don't believe it's a religion. Religions are all cults, and I refuse to be a part of any of them.

Just look how many problems they've caused, I don't want to be part of it.

Hmm. Sounds like a religion or "cult" to me.

Lol I don't actively do any of that.

I don't go to church and I don't believe in god so I consider myself an athiest. I've never pushed my beliefs on anybody else nor have I tried to disprove. This is my personal opinion, I'm not one to tell anybody else how to live their lives.

Religion is the root of all evil.

Atheism ftw. And if somebody does discover a god somewhere, I'll go Agnostic and still refuse to believe it.

I always believed atheism was the absence of theism, which is the belief of a god.
Religion is a belief of some superhuman power or powers, atheism is the belief of no theism.
Atheism may be organized in some sense, but it isn't a "religion".

Nowhere in there did I say anything about anybody else

You were speaking about religion in a general term, *telling* someone
that their religion is evil. (You did, because you said all religions are)

That's like a Christian saying Atheism is evil, same difference.

Religion = Belief of some form of theism
Atheism = anti-theism

For a set of beliefs to actually be considered a "religion" there must be a belief of theism. Atheism does not have a belief of ANY form of theism.

Ask most atheists, ones that aren't dead set on spreading their belief, they don't consider themselves as a religious cult.
