<< I always thought being atheist was a religion...not the abscence of religion... >>

I guess that all depend on what your definition of religion is
 


<< I always thought being atheist was a religion...not the abscence of religion... >>


In Greek, "a" means without and "theos" means God.

...and shouldn't Hinduism be up there as well? And Budhism?

I was raised as a Catholic...even helped raise other people's kids as Catholics...then migrated to whatever category I'm in now...

True, but atheism doesn't fit the definition of religion above.

Ah...looks like you're right...what about agnosticism?
 
Other? bah.... 😛

If one felt strongly about a religion one might be insulted that it was relegated to a subgroup rather than given it's own heading. what's the matter did his fingers get tired....
 


<< Ah...looks like you're right...what about agnosticism? >>


Actually, b0mbrman, I may be wrong. There's nothing that says an atheist can't believe in spirituality without God.

neither athiesm nor agnosticism are a religion.

The only belief people people share are is whether there is a god or no. From there on, every person is different.
