If atheism isn't a religion, why are you in hanging out in this Y!A category?

Update:

The "you" here refers to those who are the atheists who religiously frequent us.

    Atheism is a position on religion. Why wouldn't atheists "hang out" in the religion section. Besides if there was an "atheists/secular" section Christians would be all over that.

    You may have forgotten the hundred of questions posted about and to us on this site daily. You seem unaware of that. Furthermore we come here to point out clear and evident falsehoods and double standards perpetuated constantly.

    I'm an atheist.

    I come here to explain to Christians what is actually in their Bible, because most of them here have no idea.

    For example, did you know that you can beat your slave to death and pass him to your children, just like a kitchen table, but, this is ACTUALLY just "voluntary indentured servitude"?

    There seems to be a lot of "questions" for atheists. Who do you want to answer them? Flowerchildish and Firby?

    Here's why I first came:

    I didn't believe it. It certainly doesn't describe Christian people I know. I married a Christian. Sadly, time spent here has proven that there are indeed people who have serious hatred issues (on both sides).

    Simple, Atheism is a religion.

    New Atheism, also called evangelical atheism or, often pejoratively, militant atheism and fundamentalist atheism, is a movement promoted by some atheists of the twenty-first century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Atheism

    They like putting forth useless answers like "God isn't real"

    Atheists come to harass. They hate what their minds are blind to.

    Because people post questions about atheists and atheism, so I answer them.

    If you don't want atheists here, why call them here by posting questions directed at them or about them...?

  • 4 years ago

    Because this is the place to discuss religion. Atheists tend to be very knowledgeable on religion. It's why we're atheists.

    Why are there humans hanging out in the Dogs and Cats sections?
