atheist Dogma is a Belief System (AKA a Religion)

Someone wrote: "You are right in that an atheism is a belief system in that it's a set of ideas onto which one would base one's actions. There's nothing inherently wrong with having ideas and living by them!" No, but it is morally wrong to have the wrong (AKA atheistic) ideas and live by them. "You're basically saying that every belief system (e.g. political ones such as Communism, or Democracy) are also religions." No I did;t say that -- that is a straw man logical fallacy on your part. " A religion is defined as "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods."" That definition is partially correct, but partially incorrect, because actually there is only one God. Also, believers in atheist Dogma DO have beliefs and disbeliefs about God. Therefore the belief in atheist Dogma is indeed a religion. I, conversely, do not have any beliefs or disbeliefs about God, so technically speaking, I am the only one among the two of us who does not have a religion. 1. atheism doesn't have a holy book The word "holy" does not appear in the definition that you yourself provided for religion, above, so that is a red herring on your part: There are many unholy religions, but they are religions nonetheless. The belief in atheist Dogma is one of them, and believers in atheist Dogma do believe in a number of singularly unholy books. 2. atheism doesn't have shared practices such as prayer or gatherings No, because technically there is no such thing as atheism, but the belief in atheist Dogma does have shared practices such as prayer and gatherings. Also, the definition that you yourself provided for religion does not say anything about "shared practices," so your #2 is also a red herring on your part. 3. atheist groups don't get tax free benefits on their churches (they don't have churches) There are no atheist groups because there are no atheists, but believers in atheist Dogma do indeed have churches: They are unholy churches, but they are churches nonetheless -- and the believers in atheist Dogma are trying to get tax exemption for their unholy atheistic churches. Fortunately, mainstream human society is 100% Theist, and therefore sane, and so the believers in atheist Dogma are having a lot of trouble convincing mainstream society to award them tax exemption for their unholy atheistic "churches." "So to call atheism a religion." I never said that atheism was a religion, so that is another straw man logical fallacy on your part. "there is nothing wrong with having 'dogma' " I know, and I never claimed there was anything wrong with it, so that is yet another straw man logical fallacy on your part. It is wrong to believe in atheist Dogma, however. "There is nothing wrong with religions either" True, but again, I never claimed there was, so that is another straw man on your part. It is, however, wrong to believe in the unholy religion known as atheist Dogma. -"there are atheistic religions such as Buddhism or Shinto or" ...the belief in atheist Dogma -- yes, I know that. "reflecting upon the majesty of the universe " Without God, nobody could make an objective distinction between majesty and tractability. Also, without God, the universe could not possess any majesty. Also, the universe is ultimately 100% tractable to God, and God is the original source of all majesty. "your snowflake feelings" I support President Trump, but "snowflake" is a term that refers to the diaper-wearing, whiny, and treasonous morons that don't support our nation's President: Please use the correct terminology in the future. Also, you lost the debate: Thanks for your time! =)
