because its’ neither :p

Its just so deeply important to people to believe that, that they can’t clearly think about it otherwise.

We’re all the same, and just about all belief systems think they’re the ones that are right, and the others are poor deluded fools.

Atheism isn’t a belief system.

I’m an atheist. I don’t spend any time or effort not believing in supernatural things. It in no way, at all, in any way, shape, or form, resembles a religion.

I don’t think people who are religious are poor deluded fools. I pretty much hold Don Cupitt’s belief in a non-real God. God is a construct of humans— like justice, love, and all those other great things. Belief in god can inspire people to absolutely wonderful things. It’s not always, or even usually, a negative.

You have a really weird view of atheism.
