Topic	Is atheism a religion?
Dragonblade01 07/17/18 12:47:41 AM #142:	Kineth posted... Dragonblade01 posted... It's definitely atheism, but you definitely aren't saying the same thing. When I reject the claim that gods exist, that is categorically different from claiming that no god exists. And by the former, I'm an atheist. As I said, you're right about the semantics, but it's pretty irrelevant compared to my first claim. If you're held up on the fact that I said believing that there's no God, change it up so that it means how an Atheist believes, and it will still flow the same. But that's the entire crux of this question. Two people are in a room. A standard deck of playing cards is on a table face down. The only things they know are that the deck has been shuffled and that it is indeed a standard deck. Person A: The card on top is a red suit. Do you believe me? Person B: No, I do not. Does person B believe the top card is a black suit? And is he exercising faith? <cite>Dragonblade01 posted [p:905214451] in Is atheism...
