Atheism is now a religion?

[s.n.m.p.]

Atheism is disbelief in God. Unya na religion na hinoon? Naunsa. . .

[MrBiddle]

If not, of course, the Judeo-Christian God is the Creator and Architect of all things, seen and unseen.

Bitaw. The Rubic's Cube approach disputes any scientist who denies that a lot screams Intelligent Design.

It's both hilarious and scary: the very thing that exists for the sole purpose of ridding the earth of Religion beginning with religious freedom is using the very same freedom to protect itself and its sinister work.

These days...

Sakto pod ka bai.......... if athiests say they don't believe in God but in Science, then they still believe in something (science).......therefore science itself can still be their god and atheism as their religion....... just like the communists perhaps...

science cannot be considered as a god..can you consider eating a god..can you consider refining oil a god?..think..dba naai line....THE SCIENCE OF__________________

science cannot be equated to a being..since god is a being dba?..so i totally disagree in your line of thinking

religion can't be called religion when ikaw ra usa or pila ra mo kabuok..usually kulto tawag nato ana dba..then out of it..kai nka gain nman ug followers tawgon nag sect para dli kuno harsh paminawon then if i recognize na sa kalibutan kai daghan nman kaayo then matawag nag religion..and religion requires a god dba?..atheism is anti-god..so you can't call it a religion..

^^but who do you think is the creator/architect of everything?

does it have to be that way...does it really required to have a creator?..i suppose this is a divine being right?...now that's the dogma embedded in all of us through eons of indoctrination...are you posting a neutral question?..kai there's no hint of neutrality in it

sa akoa lng... Atheism,, is not be considered a religion rather a belief for religion is constituted with symbolism, ritual practices and foundation..yet to consider atheism as a religion needs further development...

[lordraven]

Indeed. But the "science" they believe in, the "science" they glorify, the "science" they adore as their god is not even a true and proper science.

Oh, those marxists, leninists, maoists and the rest of the ilk are perfect examples of these. In their religion, the Party ultimately becomes God. Mao was holding back a truth when he said "The masses is God and God is the masses." Of course, he meant "The masses (under the dictatorship of the proletariat that is under the 'leadership' of the Party) is God and God is the masses (under the dictatorship of the proletariat that is under the 'leadership' of the Party)."

I use to embrace the tenets of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism although I could never bring myself to agree with Mao's statement that "The masses is God and God is the masses." Somehow, I retain the truth that God is a being in and of Himself (and, thank God, I never fell into atheism like almost all who embraced this ideology do eventually) that He could never be any or any number of His creatures. It occurred to me back then that to make such an ontological leap would be intellectually, philosophically dishonest of me. Oh, that was the showstopper for me. That marked the line of "this is how absurd it can go". From there, I slowly realized the truth and wisdom behind "Men cannot build a just society without God", which made me reject MLM outrightly and return to the bosom of Mother Church.

Shalom.

note, that Marxism idea of communism does not connote into the disagreement of God existence, Mao Tse Tung was a clear follower of Mahayana Buddhism, so be careful of your statement..Marx book 'Das Kapital' consider the relevance of current economic developement and clearly said that to attain communism a society must undergo changes...

It's nice to have someone dig up this old thread--you can immediately infer from the first few posts that iStorya was full of sensible and intelligent people back in its early days. I wonder where they are now?
