If atheism/agnosticism isn't a religion then how come people on CreateDebate

put atheist or agnostic under their religion on their own profile? And I thought people said it isn't a religion eh?

Srom, you're a Christian and a theist... So, does that mean that you belong to two religions? Some Buddhists are atheists, but atheism definitely is not their religion. Atheism is a position.

On your driver's license, if you are bald, they put that under hair color. Of course, technically it isn't, but people know what it means. Stop being silly.

There is no option for "not religious". Choosing atheist is the equivalent of choosing "not religious"

It's still under religion. Then you should put no answer if you're "supposedly" not religious.

Like I said, choosing atheist is the equivalent of choosing "not religious" or "none". Putting no answer at all doesn't help people know where I stand on the topic of religion. Have you already forgot about this debate? Agnostic was one of the options in the list as well. Do you really think agnosticism is a religion?

It's basically a gender for girl.

You can't be serious with this debate Srom. When they ask what your religion is they give the option for Atheist because it's understood by any half wit that the person answering Atheist doesn't have a religion.

If you don't like that then take it up with Andy and all the other thousands of social sites that do the same.

You're obviously trolling. No one is this stupid... no one educated is this stupid...

...Fuck, I can't keep a straight face. People are far more stupid than this on a GOOD day.

Just because an option is under religion, it doesn't make it a religion by itself. If given a choice of yes or no to a question, both answers are not automatically 'yes' or 'no'. They are their own choices unified by a common theme. Atheism is a 'hard no', in a sense, to any religious identity other than 'there is no god, etc'. Agnosticism gets a little more confusing to me but it's still not a religion. I guess it might be the 'maybe' option? Hell if I know.

If you still insist upon this foolishness, well, that's your own issue. But you're going to look like an idiot to everyone, and will convince no one. Though I still think you're trolling and won't give a shit about any of this, so whatever.

I won't take this debate serious.

I would like to congratulate Srom on finding that little gotcha. He may be taking it too seriously, but I have to say I would love to pull something like this, so I can't hold it against him.

Major fail. Atheism is not a religion. It is just the belief that there is not god or god.

It's actively believing that God doesn't exist.

That doesnt make it a religion, but I agree. .
