I think it's pretty obvious to point out that organized religions are nothing more than corrupted business empires, and the fairy tales that they preach are chocked full of shit, but denial of a power beyond our knowledge is still a little premature. The only reasonable answer to the argument is to not know what that power is definitively, admit it, and quit giving a fuck either way.
Immediately dismissing a higher power because a Christian type God doesn't make sense, is as lacking in imagination as jumping on the God bandwagon.  |
Atheism is a religion? Lay off the catnip. "Atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby."
Again, I have never said there is no supreme being. I don't know of many atheists who would make such a bold statement. We don't know. To not explore other options and accept them as equally plausible is ignorant. Science and evidence (not fear and superstition) are the keys to figuring it all out.
