Yes, I made the assertion that atheism is a religion and then went on to say
why. On the other hand, you just make the assertion that it isn't, without
saying why at all. Sorry, not good enough, I don't believe you.

Atheists say that the universe is a meaningless place, but they still assign
themselves value. That's hypocrisy. In fact, the evidence is all around
that they have NO value, but they still carry on as if they do. That isn't
even faith, because the evidence is right there; it's willful ignorance, a
decision NOT to see the truth around them.

As for stamps, Joe brought it up, I merely followed his analogy.
