    any number of ways, there are many atheists sects, just like there are many theist sects.

    I directly refuted your premise, with the definition of atheism. Atheism remains by definition, not a religion. Sorry.

    I'm an atheist and never even think of it, until some M---- on the internet tells me what I believe.
    What sect do I belong to.

    Not a single one of those are devoted to Atheism and most are not even sects.

    That’s playing very sloppy with the definition of religion.

    Not at all, more than likely there is something people out here dont understand about religion that everyone else does?
    Forgot to list this one:
    Court Agrees Atheism a religion Post: #976
    and others who dont know anything about it.
    :blahblah:
    I quoted mine still waiting on yours?
    Where are those refutations you keep claiming?
    Waiting........

    My first post in the first moronic thread you created on this topic. The definition of atheism precludes it from being a religion. In the same way that not playing baseball is not a sport.

    Nothing in the definition of atheism precludes it from being a religion.

    So you have no evidence you posted any refutation at all, thanks for playing, you lose

    The definition does.

    You of course know that I have refuted the moronic premise of this and every other moronic thread you’ve started on this topic.

    You have done no such thing,

    begging the question is a fallacy that occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. It is a type of circular reasoning: an argument that requires that the desired conclusion be true.

    Is proof of nothing.


    (for those who do not know the history, he is talking about posting the definition of atheism which says nothing what so ever about religion to prove its not a religion 'by definition' lol, then standing on his soap box shouting see, there it is plain as day...why cant anyone else see that?)

    Nothing in the definition of baseball precludes it from being a religion. Your contrived definitions are still meaninglessly broad.

    So then it impossible that someone might pray to the great baseball god every night before going to bed, then sacrifice a baseball every Sunday to this god that their prayers are answered so they can win the game on Monday? Please be serious.

    Then develop a whole philosophy and world view centered around the great baseball god that attracts other fanatics and form the first church of baseball.

    After all as far as atheists are concerned the Christian religion is centered around the great skypilot, where is the atheological difference from the atheist pov?

    And you, with only your own mind, have decided that all of these are atheists? With no evidence except your own claim that they are so? And continuing to ignore what an actual atheist is?

    I knew that you lacked the ability to think coherently but this just proves it to all others.

    Argument By Repetition Fallacy.
    Faulty Comparison Fallacy.

    This has already been addressed by myself multiple times. In that comparison, you are attempting to equate theism with religion. They are not the same thing.

    Yes, we know logic isn’t your thing.

    And your arguments have been thoroughly refuted, via the definition of atheism.
