You've stated two negatives in this passage alone. "Atheism isn't a
religion" and "I (meaning me) didn't prove that it was". Unfortunately, you
can either deal with my original assertion that it is a religion, or you can
continue to waddle in circles saying "NOT! NOT! NOT!" Whatever makes you
feel worthwhile, I guess.
Let me requote to you my assertion and the rationale:
1) Atheism IS a religion, the most hypocritical known.
2) Religion is the wilful self-delusion about higher power(s) being the
actual
arbiters of mankind and the universe.
3) It's really about who the arbiter, the assigner of meaning is.
4) For the atheist it is his himself, he is his own arbiter, master of all
morality and value. That flies in the face of evidence; he says that he
knows that he is no more valuable than any other piece of matter in the
materialistic universe, and yet continues to assign value to himself and his
actions anyways.
Clear enough for you? Atheists delude themselves in the same way that
religious people, but they do it in SPITE of the evidence around them. That
is what makes them hypocrites.
