Default Re: why does this forum care so much about religion

Also you got some semantic issues - most atheists would not refer to their reasoning as 'belief there is no god', they would call 'having no belief there is a god', this point is often important to them as they don't want to come of as 'believers' in something.

Sadly, i think this is the common belief among otherwise ignorant people. Usually you hear the word atheist used (in a negative connotation) as some kind of anti-religion. I now understand that atheism isn't the opposite of religion, it's more like the abscence of religion. Thanks for the wisdom dueces.
