If Atheist is a religion...whom they are worshiping? Do they have also a book like THE BIBLE as their guide?

I just want a clarification because the Atheist said they are a religion. If this is true, how come they exist? Where and what is their origin? Who started this religion and how they worship?

    Atheism is not a religion. Atheism is only the lack of belief in a god. It does not define any kind of religion, some Atheists have religion, such as Buddhists, but Atheism it self is not a religion.

  • I don't know who you been talking to, but if they say it is a religion..well I guess it is.

    Bill Maher said in his movie "Religious" that he preaches the Word of Doubt. And that's basically true about Atheists, they have doubt about what Major Religions like Christianity (Mainly Christianity) say is true the world and the afterlife.

    Since the growing emergence of Science, we are using reason and common sense to get a better understanding of the world and reality, without just basing our beliefs solely on a book written a long time ago, that was, beforehand, taught orally 300 years before it was written down.

    Atheism is Anti-Religion, there is no prayer, or holy-book or prophets, a god or a devil, or even a savior. There really isn't nothing. And when you think about it,as compared to all the rules and regulations of most major religions (Like Christianity) tell you to follow in order to have a place set for you in the afterlife...well it's kinda huge weight off your shoulders.

    Atheist I feel mainly rely on what they see in front of them, and, well instinct. They just know and feel that something isn't right with what they been taught all their life. And with the availability of information, and a decent education, Atheists are growing.

    Keep in mind that there wasn't the internet, or a education system for the masses the past centuries.

    a million. Atheists are their own "god", so that they worship human awareness. 2. Protestants do no longer worship the bible...they chop up from the Catholic church (partly) over no count number in case you choose an interpreter (i.e. priest) to tell you relating to the bible or no count number in case you need to get it for your self straight away from God in the process the scriptures (they worship God as Father, Son and Spirit...and John a million says Jesus IS the notice, so in all probability it extremely is the place it have been given crossed up). 3. Too early in California to drink...even if this is 5:00 someplace. 4. this is severe high quality now, yet would be as much as ninety F by potential of this afternoon. AND...your mom continues to be right here because you haven't any longer yet carried out your apprenticeship so as which you will possibly properly be the mommy.

    an atheist is a person who doesn't believe in religion, and doesn't worship anything. the lack of religion so to speak.

    We worship our custom-built god, of course. We call him/it Abiogenesis. Other devotees call him/it Biopoesis. We have diverse books written by our gurus and we plan to compile it into a book just like the Bible and we are planning to name it Viable. No concrete evidence, no observable records as to who or how it was originated but we have a common postulated theory: it evolved from natural selection to supernatural selection, from survival of the fittest and the cuttest to survival of the most educated and enlightened (for we atheists claim we are more intelligent than any others). We have no official worldwide organization but by faith, we are united in and by and for our theories. We have no common mode of worship yet but we are proud we aheists have something common in terms of worship: We deny God, we do not want Him in our lives, we run and hide away from Him as far as, as long as, as much as, as vehemently as we can. On top of this, WE admittedly FEAR GOD and we hate everything connected with Him.

    Atheists are evolutionists or big bangers and their religion is the evolution theory or the big bang theory, their holy book can be found in any library its basically a science book, its all based on science fiction myths..

    Atheism is not a religion; it's a reaction. It there were no delusional theists walking around the world spouting their ignorance and fantasies, there would be no need for the word "atheist" to even exist.

    Atheism isn't a religion, but it is a religious belief. For instance, if someone asked me what religion I was, I'd say "Atheist." We don't worship anything and we don't have some bullshit book full of fairy tales, but we're still a group of people with a common belief. (Or lack thereof)

    While atheism is not a religion, atheists do need prayers, so that they can learn spiritual truths. It is good to pray the rosary for them regularly. The rosary is God's preferred means for converting people.

    Incorrect.

    Atheism is not a religion. It is the lack of belief in a god.

    It would be like calling "non-bowling" a sport.
