Atheism doesn't have to be a belief!

[Archon_Wing]

A few years ago I thought that atheism was just a religion like all the other religions.

Why?
-It ended in -ism. Which was a dumb idea, since "Communism" isn't a religion. Well... for the most part.

-In regards to the question "Is there a God?" they have certainly taken a position.
- It is simply a reaction to religion; a rejection
- It's easy to put people into categories. Especially people who aren't you.

But I had made a fatal mistake here. I had assumed that everyone had an opinion about God. I had failed to look past my own way of thinking. What if the person simply never thought of the question, and doesn't care? You don't label people as antipinkskyists or ASantaClausists?

I think it might have been hard for people to realize that others simply do not care about the question. There are obviously atheists who have thought about it, and said no, but it's not all of them. My family is of East Asian descent; God in the western sense is largely irrelevant in their eyes, but they're not going to go out of their way to label themselves as atheists. I believe it is easier to see this in a society where monotheism isn't the default.
