"If atheism is a religion what is worshiped? Where are the houses of worship?"

Well, actually it could be a religion in that it believes something in particular about God or the Gods. However, then that makes the religionists attack agnosticism, which doesn't take a stance, as being wishy washy and a refusal to take a stance.

So, if it isn't allowed to take the stance of "I don't know", then atheism should not be considered a religion.

JFShepard, > Using WorldNet Daily as a source is like using Fox News as background for the Bush admin.... Get real...

Try again. That is an actual case where the court ruled that atheism is protected as a "religion" under the 1st amendment.

Darwin ... duh.
