[quote]I myself use "stones". The fewer stones used by the culture to kill women who did something "wrong", the better the culture. Whichever cultures use the fewest stones to kill women are closest to the true definition of what is right and what is wrong and the world should listen to them and not the others.[/quote] What about cultures that practice female circumcision?

"Most deists saw the religions of their day as corruptions of an original, pure religion that was simple and rational. They felt that this original pure religion had become corrupted by "priests" who had manipulated it for personal gain and for the class interests of the priesthood in general. According to this world view, over time "priests" had succeeded in encrusting the original simple, rational religion with all kinds of superstitions and "mysteries" – irrational theol

From Philosophical Concepts of Atheism by Ernest Nagel "Historically, Atheism has been, and indeed continues to be, a form of social and political protest, directed as much against institutionalized religion as against theistic doctrine. Atheism has been, in effect, a moral revulsion against the undoubted abuses of the secular power exercised by religious leaders and religious institutions. Philosophical Atheists reject the assumption that there ar

[quote]"Supernatural" is not a useful word anyway, because the god I believe in is actually extra-natural, not super-natural, and interacts with the world solely in ways that appear to us in ways that science can understand and explain.[/quote] So do you believe he isn't all-powerful or infallible?

It seems that the only way Atheism is like religion is that there are a lot of different opinions about what it means to be one.

[quote]Non sequitur, the paragraph you quote doesn't say anything about religion and atheism being irreconcilable. In fact there exist many atheistic religions, just like there exist many monotheistic and polytheistic religions. Buddhism and animist religions do not suddenly disappear just because you want atheism to be the opposite of an approach to human spirituality. Communist personality cults are religions, even though there is no (supernatural) god. Nor does a religion with a god necess
