(Atheism is not a religion. Science is not a religion. I thought that evolutionists believed we evolved from monkies, not fish?)
CORRECTION , IN THE ARTICLE IT NEVER STATED THAT SCIENCE WAS A RELIGION, HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY AGREE THAT ATHEISM IS CATEGORIZED AS A RELIGION.
JUST ASK THE MAJORITY OF ATHEIST WHAT THEIR RELIGION IS AND I BET THEIR ANSWER WILL BE ATHEISM.

Actually, they say that they're atheist as a label to caractherise the absence of beliefs. It's like saying that if you say that you're single, you're admitting your married because it's labeled as marital status.
So, if I say I don't follow a sport, say Football (Not American football, the proper football), then I support Non-Existent Football Club do I?
Wonder how well they're going to do next season...
"CORRECTION , IN THE ARTICLE IT NEVER STATED THAT SCIENCE WAS A RELIGION. IN FACT, THE VERY DEFINITION OF THE WORD INDICATES THAT ATHEISM IS NOT A RELIGION.
JUST ASK THE MAJORITY OF ATHEISTS WHAT THEIR RELIGION AND THEIR ANSWER WILL BE NONE."
FIXED.
Some, probably not the majority, would say they are Buddhist.
For the rest, replying "I'm an atheist" to "What religion do you follow?" is not an assertion that atheism is a religion.
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR retarded.
And please, atheism is a religion in the way that naked is an outfit.
(Her reaction to the "bald hair color" analogy was something to the effect of, "well i think they would tell me what color their hair would be if they werent bald")
Correction: "Just ask the majority of fundies who don't know any atheists, what they think an atheist will answer when asked what his religion is, they will say atheist. The atheist will actually say "none, I'm an atheist"! Fixed!
@ mngamojemo
SO WHY ARE FISH AND MONKIES STILL AROUND.
anywho, the hair thing doesnt really apply, since you still have hair, which has a color, just not on the top of your head. but i usually answer "atheist" if asked, and hope that it ends at that. unfortunately, fundies have this little problem about not being able to comprehend somebody not worshipping a diving being. you know, because everybody else does it, so it must be the norm.
If atheism is a religion, I want to register as an Atheist Chaplain, and get on the rotation to give the opening prayer for the state legislature.
One minute of silence, staring at them, then start reciting the Dead Parrot sketch. But only Michael Palin's part. Because, really, prayer is a conversation that makes no sense if the other actor isn't there...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
