A response to an Atheist

The atheist said:

"I think what [he] was trying to say was that the court was just trying to help atheists out, even though most people don't recognize it as a religion.

We certainly don't.

No holy books, no worship or belief in a higher being, no rituals, no heirchy of priests, etc. In short, there's nothing that religion has in common with atheism. Atheism is at most, technically, a viewpoint about religion. That's the closest that one can really get.

It's not even a worldview as atheists have all sorts of viewpoints on social, economic and other issues.

We just don't believe in a god/gods. That's it."


My response was close to:

We certainly don't. (recognize atheism as a religion.)

No holy books, no worship or belief in a higher being, no rituals, no heirchy of priests, etc. In short, there's nothing that religion has in common with atheism. Atheism is at most, technically, a viewpoint about religion. That's the closest that one can really get.

We just don't believe in a god/gods. That's it."


Who are you trying to convince, me or you? You even have two separate holidays!

Now I sent these pictures and links, in jest, to show the hypocrisy of what is being said. I stretched the meanings of some pictures to make a point here. If they can't see how things are being viewed, how can I convince atheists of their error?
