Religion

Today, the Tribune published an article saying that atheists know more about religion than religious people. I'm not surprised by this and have no trouble believing it. I have a strong belief that atheists are complete hypocrites and are actually very religious people.

Religion - a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs (www.dictionary.com).

According to the definition of religion, atheism is a religion and serves the same purpose as Christianity, Buddhism and Judaism.

In my opinion and from observation, one main religious activity is to actively recruit others into your religion. Atheists are becoming experts on this. They have taken out advertisements on buses and billboards. They are being interviewed by national newspapers and trying to make themselves more vocal. They say everyone in this country has a fundamental right to freedom from religion, but they are pushing their religion in everyone's faces exactly like their archenemies, the Evangelical Christians.

Now, I do not associate myself with any organized religion and do not have any set beliefs in anything in particular, other than that Evangelical Christians are glorified sociopaths. I am not rooting for one religion over another, nor am I saying that atheism is bad. I do however think that atheists these days are the worst and most obnoxious religion recruiters on the entire planet.

If they insist on criticizing every other religion for promoting religious propaganda in public, then they should stop promoting their religious propaganda. If atheists truly wanted freedom from religion, they would be opposed to bus advertisements and billboards claiming that God is a hoax and participating in studies that are trying to prove that they know everything there is to know about religion.

Thanks.
