...atheism is a religion; problem? You're playing a sport; I am not. You diet to get thin; I'm lactose-intolerant. You're religious; I'm not. Like Bill Maher said, "atheism is a religion like abstinence is a sex-position." Science is not a religion either. Atheism is not 'practiced.' I can not pay attention, be honest, and deny that the sun and planets rotate; this has nothing to do with faith, it comes down to sanity. These are examples...any more?
