Atheists often says tht atheism cannot be seen as a religion. But why? What makes atheism different to what is considered as religion? After all, atheism is also just a belief.

It's not a religion because in the vast majority of cases, atheists don't believe in Gods or a supreme being or force. Also religions have systems of worship and rules.

But are not the negation of god a rule that atheists follow? And of course it is not identical to a religion but i think it have the same system of a religion.

The only difference is that atheists don't believe in gods.

no, they don't follow any rule. they don't believe in god chose nothing convinced them of his existence yet. if they get convinced by any chance, then they can become religious or believers any time

Atheists believe that our science cannot prove the existence of God. But they don't really know. That is a rule that atheists/agnostics follow. That is a belief.

not knowing is not a rule...it's simply ignorance

I don't think it is a religion. That is because you are not trying to reconnect with god, wich is the opposite of a religion.

Atheism is not a religion but Liberalism is a secular religion and Bill Maher is a Liberal.

You've got to have a heck of a lot of blind faith to be an atheist. I used to be an atheist, and looking back now I realise just how idiotic and shortsighted I was!

No actually, God is above all that, and looking onto this limited physical realm from outside of it! Since he created it all, God is not confined to earth.

It's not that I don't believe in possibility of existence of some sort of meta-physical entity, but thing is that I actually don't believe in believing.

Atheism is just rejection of belief without valid proof, what tradition, culture and personal experiences of some, are certainly not.

And we don't really pursuit some religious ceremonies, neither we pray.

Much of what people call atheism more exactly is agnosticism. That is no certain belief, in contrast it’s sooner a disbelief. An agnostic essentially says: “I see no reason for such an assumption.”

Atheism certainly isn't a religion (as someone else pointed out) but I noticed for many people rejecting religion creates a void they try to fill with an ideology. They speak about their ideology the same way as if it was a religion.

Agreed. I think everyone has a "religious" void. Some people worship God(s), others worship celebrities, or brands, or whatever. It doesn't matter if your priest is Father MacMillan at the local church, some celebrity gossip writer, or even a politician, it's all the same thing with a different coating.

1. I agree that atheism is a religion. All the fantasy atheists make up to justify their religion like evolution and globism are religious.

2. They CLAIM it's not a religion by ignoring all the stuff they DO believe as part of denying God exists by saying garbage like, "Atheists is as much a religion as not believing in Thor is a religion."
