belief != religion though, religion has some other characteristics as well to fullfill like having rules, maybe some scripture, some basis on what to get the values from and atheism doesn’t do that. However the post is quite funny and why is it that atheists on the internet are often way too easily butthurt…

No, an atheist just doesn’t believe in any gods. If sufficient evidence came along, then they’d change that stance. As such, atheism is not a statement that absolutely no gods exist.

Atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods, not an active disbelief in any. There are many agnostic atheists who aren’t convinced deities exist due to the lack of evidence, but won’t claim they don’t exist outright because it’s an unfalsifiable claim to make since nobody can prove or disprove the existence of any deity in a falsifiable and verifiable way. To make such a claim would be dishonest. In a way, saying that atheism is a religion is like saying that not playing baseball is a sport.

You’re having fun, but a lot of atheists do seem treat it as a competing religion
