Is Atheism a religion? If so should it be kept separate from state as many say other religions should?

Atheism certainly appears to be a philosophical religion with dogma and a cohesive life message.

It and those that practice it should be kept separate from our government.

Atheism is no more a religion than failing to believe that the world is flat is a religion. Your argument is ludicrous. I agree that many atheists mind other people's business way too much, but as far as passing laws, the only ones I've seen are for the good of everyone.

Let me tell you how keeping religion in schools can work (and this is coming from an agnostic). Keep it as cultural education, and include everyone's traditions. We talk about Jesus in our school, but we don't preach about him as if he were the messiah. We talk about Mohammed. We talk about Kwanzaa and Diwali as well. The reason for separation of Church and State is to not step on the rights of the few for the benefit of the many, and vice versa. No one should be forced to adhere to someone else's beliefs. Taking religion out of the public does not prevent you from practicing it.

Zero is a number. The Null Set is still a set.

When Atheists have shown a video of them exploring this Universe and every other Universe in the Firmament showing and proving that God does not exist...

then until then their belief is irrational. This is so because they claim science as their own, yet science does not nor can it prove Atheism to be true.

Because no spaceship can be built that is so fast that it can return from going to every square inch of this Universe and every other Universe before those who sent the spaceship into space are dead and long gone.

Those who say that Atheism is proven by science say something that has never been nor ever will be so.

Only the Creator of all Creation can reveal Himself to those whom He created...

because He is so much more intelligent and powerful than...

those who He created.

God bless.

No scientific proof god does exist. The proof that a god probably doesn't exist is contained in the science of physics. No matter what is presented to you, if you have a mindset, it won't be changed by a small thing like peer reviewed science when there's a book of hogwash to refer to.

As for atheism being a religion, that is a contradiction in terms, as the word atheist means no religion.

Not collecting stamps is not a hobby.

I have no belief in a gods. That is the one and only thing I share with other atheists.

You think there is one God, out of the thousands of gods that humans have invented.

I believe in one less god than you do. You also don't believe in Thor, like me. Is your non-Thorness a religion? You must have thousands of religions.

There is nothing else about atheism to talk about.

There may not be proof god isn't real but there is a lot of evidence to show the bible is a load of sh!t .

1. The world isn't 4000 years old

2. God didn't create man or atleast not in 7 days or his own image we evolved over billions of years , before you say there is no proof of evolution I've seen the skulls of our ancestors that evolved from apes to modern man have you seen gods body or ANY proof gods real. Their not the only proof there is much much more I just can't be bothered to write them all

To your question no atheism isn't a religion it shouldn't be forced on people but we should teach evolution in school not brainwash them with religion. I went to a catholic school and had to spend a few hours a week doing RE (religious education) biggest waste of time not one person in school believed in god we could have spent that time learning facts,maths,English,science or ict

Atheism is not a faith. There aren't any relevant tennants or doctrine. Even the main points of the Big Bang and the Expansion of the Universe are disputable amongst agencies of Atheism. There is not any authority determine they worship. They do not create dogmas. Calling it a faith is the present day believers try to discredit Atheist arguments: "They are too dull to observe they are in a faith whilst they bash faith, so why must we take them severe?" And you are correct, there's no clinical proof disproving God. But what you are doing is known as "relocating the goalposts." If you are saying you will have an invisible God that exists in an extra measurement, there is no such thing as a strategy to disprove it. Or end up it for that topic. But the Abrahamic God was once given characteristics that may be disproved with technology, historical past, archeology, or even with the identical scriptures that quantify it. So no, we cannot disprove A god, however we CAN disprove YOUR God. In conjunction together with your "relocating the goalposts," you're looking to characteristic any reference or definition of the phrase "God" with the "Christian God" with out utilizing as many phrases. That's known as "inspiration preventing." You are a propagandist and absolutely a cultist.

They aren't a religion, atheist don't believe in any higher power (they don't believe in God or gods).

It is not actually a religion but an anti religion.

If atheism is a religion then bald is a hair colour.
