JFShepard, > Atheism is not a belief or religion...

"If atheism is a religion, then bald is a hair color."

Too bad the courts don't agree:

If atheism isn't a belief, what is it? A feeling? An irrational fear?

Of course, atheism is a belief and its a belief about the central subject of religion - God. Accordingly its a religious belief. Though it is often a belief driven by fear.

It has certain implications. That human life is meaningless and purposeless, for example. That good and evil are illusions for another.
