Furthermore, the most widley accepted definition of atheism (as well as the primary one listed by dictionaries) is that it is the belief that there are no gods - NOT that it is a synonym with agnosticism. Note that it takes just as much faith to be an atheist as it does to be a member of any OTHER religion, organized or not.

Atheists make no positive claims. > > They positively state that there are no gods. Incorrect. Only a subset of atheists do that (stong atheism or radical atheism). All an atheist needs is a lack of belief in god. As soon as there is any doubt, you are an atheist. see http://atheism.about.com/od/atheismquestions/a/strong_weak.htm http://www.strongatheism.net/faq/#F1 > Atheism is a religion, just as sure as Christianity is. No .. it is not. Strong atheism _might_ be able to be called a religion, depending on your defintition of what is it. In the loose sense it can be any system of ethics, values, and belief. As weak atheism has no belief and does not put forward any particular code of ethics or values, its not a religion. Strong atheism has the belief that god(s) does not exist, but agan, no code of ehtics or values. So no, it would not be a religion in any useful sense of the word. >> Where is your proof the any religion is correct? > There is none - where is your proof that there are no gods? Atheists don't need one .. all they need is for there to be no proof that there are gods .. and that justifies their position completely.
