On Secularism/Atheism/Neo-Darwinism As A Religion

Yes, it is.

from JoeUser Forums

    I do believe that any form of denial of the existence or omnipotence of God is a form of religion.

    Simply put, when you believe something without having undeniable evidence, it's religion. This applies mainly, but not exclusively to morals and creation. Morality is dictated by what? Religion. Any form of primary belief has some form of moral requirements. Therefore Atheism is technically a religion. Creation also determines whether or not an idea is philosophy or religion. For instance, answer three things for me to prove that Atheism is not a religion.

  1. What did we come from?
  2. Did that start from nothing or does it have a cause?
  3. How can you say you have evidence to justify that?

    Personally, if I don't have 100% evidence of every thing about the Creation, seriously, I'll choose God over unproven science. You can choose your god.

No one has any doubts about your faith - you make that clear with every unfounded argument you make. You'd HAVE to have the most outstanding faith to believe the things you believe.

Religion is a smart man’s admission that he cannot know everything. Religious fundamentalism is a stupid man’s admission that he thinks he knows enough.

Confused much?

There are no answers to these questions inherent in atheism. There may be hypothesis and theories many atheists share, but they are no more inherent in atheism than the color red is with the sound of drums. Atheism doesn't claim to know these answers, religion does.

God insists on free will, so he makes himself scarce.

In other words, "Believe in me or go to hell...but I am going to make you guess."
