Atheism is not and cannot be a religon!

"'Atheists don't need to PROVE that God does NOT exist. It's irrational and impossible.' what? for anything to be there must be a creator, every religion believes that in some point, that is the general FAITH of all religions." That's not true. Christians don't believe that God has a creator, God just always was. By your logic, that would mean Christianity isn't a religion. Your point is invalid. "you claim that only theists need prove that a God or Gods exist that atheist are some how void of responsablity in feeble atempts of jusifing their 'Ideas'." It's called "The burden of proof". If I were to say a pink, intangible, invisible dragon lives in my den, it would be up to ME to prove it exists, not YOU to prove it does not exist. However, many people get confused by this. They think that they can say "Oh, you can't prove it? Then it doesn't exist". The proper logical conclusion is "You cannot say it exists because there is not enough evidence" "I have also been an Atheist and only when I looked at what I thought was my Faith I relized, to belive in nothing is the same as being alredy dead. many claim that they shall be reborn as trees, impossibul, if there is no God then all refrences toward a God are false thus, humans have no souls, and then cannot come back nor reencarnate as dust, let-a-lone a tree. others believe in a mockry of foolish and empty ideals of death. I also cannot fathom how we beings came forth without a God. and don't try the BIG BANG or EVOLUTIONARY theories, they cannot be proven." I think you're confused. This is a debate, which is a discussion on a particular topic between two people of opposing viewpoints. If you're going to bash atheism, please log on to some creationist site and bash away, but do not waste my time my typing irrelevant garbage that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. However, I will treat your rant like an argument for this debate. You claim that atheists claim they shall be reborn as trees. You claim that atheists believe they believe in a mockery of foolish and empty ideals of death. You claim that atheists believe in big bang and evolution and that these things cannot be proven. Since you claim they believe in all these things that aren't based on objective fact, it must be faith, and Atheism must be a religion. You've just conceded this debate. Thank you. "I conclude: Atheist must prove there is no God, witch you say they don't." You very well may conclude that, but the conclusion would be invalid. Why do I say so? There is an invisible, intangible pink dragon in my room that is always right. According to you, you would have to prove this dragon does not exist. Otherwise, you have lost this point. "Athesim is built on Ideals not Faith, like all other religons." I have no idea what this means and you offer no explanation for it. However, religion delas with many ideals. The concept of perfection, virginity, life after death, being all-knowing, all-powerful, unconditional love. "Atheism is not a Religon, but a group of those who cannot fathom a God thus choose to look away from Him/Her/It" If atheism is a set of beliefs that a person, as you said, CHOOSES to take, then it must be based on faith. Hence, Atheism is a religion. Thank you for the debate.
