Even worse are the people who think evolution is a religion…

    They are just religious people who believe that there is no evidence to evolution and its faith based like other religions !!

    The theory of evolution proves that organisms which perceive fitness are more successful and more prolific than organisms which perceive truth. Thus, it is a scientific fact that the world we perceive is not a depiction of truth. I think religious people who believe reality is real are fools.

    Atheism is no more a religion than a lack of a Ferrari is a Ferrari. That's the best way I know of to explain the concept.

    Yes, atheism is not a belief, it's a realisation. One day you realise that you don't believe, that you are simply not convinced. You don't decide to be an atheist, you don't belief in atheism, you simply can't make yourself belief something that you are not convinced of. It's not in your control, you haven't been provided with sufficient (or any) evidence and realise that the label of atheist accurately describes your state of mind.

    You just described the subjective experience of joining every religion

    The difference is that realising you lack belief because of absence of evidence is the product of sound reasoning.

    Realising that you do believe in something because of an absence of evidence is not.

    Oh, you mean like how I don't believe in an objective reality beyond my senses because of absence of evidence. And how believing in reality because you don't personally agree with the evidence against it is unsound.

    Best cure for religion is actually reading the damn books. It’s utter bullshit and anyone with a functioning brain can tell.

    Hot take: atheism, in some of its acceptions, is a religion. Not all atheist are this way, but too many are simply with the belief that no god exists and that faithful people cannot be right and that what their doing is wrong.

    The problem with that belief is that it's as intolerant and hateful as the most fanatical believers. And religion wars never have been a good thing.

    I like to call people like you monoatheists. See, monotheists only believe in one god, and monoatheists only disbelieve in one god.
