    Why do you not know what an atheist is‽

    ATHEIST - someone who does not believe in a God – any God – not just the Christian one. But that does not mean they do not hold strong moral or religious beliefs! They can follow any religion that does not have a god and there are a lot of those!

    Like BUDDHISM – Religious teaching from Buddha and his followers that by destroying greed, hatred and delusion (the cause of all suffering) man can attain perfect enlightenment!

    Where do you think Christianity got it's ideas of a soul and afterlife from for goodness sake?

    They stole it from the pagan tribes and peoples which existed hundreds and thousands of years before Christianity!

    From the stone age through Vikings, Egyptians, Maoris, Aborigines, American Indians and especially the Chinese, they all had elaborate funerals and grave goods to speed the soul into the next life with comfort!

    Atheist can beleive in anything without a god and whilst some are religious most have the education and intellect to live in reality!

    Well, the first premise that; Humans worship something, is something I and most people agree is false. humans don't have to worship something.

    Google defined "worship" as "the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity." Now you don't have to agree with that exact definition, nevertheless I thinks more accurate than yours. If what you were trying to ask; Is there something atheist have a strong belief in and have something that they put ahead of themselves, then yes. But nobody has the right to tel them what it to believe in, they have the freedom to thought and to believe in anything they want. It could be, gaming, technology, friends and family, philanthropy, art, science, music, travel anything. Atheists look up to other people, like Nikola Tesla, Lincoln, Gandhi, Bruce Lee. He could even look up to Adolf Hitler but that would make him an asshole, but he does not represent all atheists, We are united by nothing, NOTHING more one simple disbelief. nothing more, nothing less.

    "Worship is an act of religious devotion usually directed towards a deity. An act of worship may be performed individually, in an informal or formal group, or by a designated leader."

    I'm not doing that.

    Atheists are not weak minded needing to be brainwashed into needing their hands held to survive every day of their life. Why is it that weak humans need nudge along often to just keep the want to live. No animal is as weak as this only religious nutters. Atheists are strong enough to live without this rubbish.

    On the basis every human worships something,

    - Brain dead fundies NEED to worship something, we who have functional brain cells do not need to worship anything.
