Southern Baptist, you're all going to hell except me. ~D
ichi is an adherent of Shinto. Specifically a branch referred to as ichiism.
ichi :bow:
Yup, strictly speaking, atheists like myself should not even vote. We don't really have a religion.Quote:

Anyway I think there are more christians due to either scaring away some Atheists and the fact that Agnostics probably voted no on the God poll.
BTW this whole Inquisition thing is getting a bit worrisome, I think we Atheists need our own country with which to protect Atheists around the globe.
Well, the pollster did make the answer I am atheist, which seems to acknowledge that it's not a religion.Quote:

I can only hope you are right... ~DQuote:

Sometimes I tell myself not to scratch so hard, that it only makes it worse. A little lotion helps.Quote:

Most of us are gonna be put to decompose whilst in time our bodies will become part of ecosystems and we will indeed disapear. We will disapear even more when the sun implodes and destroys the Earth as well.
Also if you consider that all cells renew themselves from the time we are born with animals and plants we eat, no one ever existed to begin with. ~:eek:
So I guess what I'm getting at is that it would be great if the Christians were right and I WAS going to hell when i die. That would be sooooo great. What a relief. Sadly though I highly doubt that would ever hapen.

Actually the sun will expand until it swallows the earth.
Not such a bad thing to become part of a 3rd generation star.
Er, yes, eternal, firey, sulphurous torment. Sounds great... :dizzy2:Quote:

Wow lot's of atheists here ~:confused:
Didn't expect this from westerners.
Where do you expect atheists?
Believe in God = No, therefore Atheist.
Believe in Human Rights = Yes, therefore possibly Humanist.
Maybe in former republics of the USSR , because atheism was a religion.Quote:

Atheism in the West is the rejection that there is a higher power, God to be precise.
It is not a religion.
-
Atheism in the former communist states of Europe was not a religion it was a mandatory requirement. You could not be religious even if you believed in god. So basically you could be atheist and still believe in god at that time.
Fortunatly though that trend created large pockets of youngsters who did not go to church nor learn about Jesus and so you have a lot of surplus atheism.
This is different from the growing western Europe and N.America atheism which is influenced by existentialist thought and disenchantment from the whole concept of a higher being.

I would guess that Westerners are the most Atheistic (is that a word?). Personally I dont know a single person that goes to church, mostly old people doing that here it seams.Quote:

What esoteric knowledge do you or your friends possess that combines this with not believing in a supreme power?Quote:

Athiesm is the belief that no supreme being exists, so surely it is also a religion?

No one believes in nothing. Everyone has things that can be called beliefs. Like for example saying you know nothing because the universe has infinite secrets and you'll never find them all out is a belief. I don't see how it relates to believing in god though.Quote:

I'm an Atheist because there's no God, Heaven, Hell or Soul. ~D :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2:
I just think peiple begin to believe when they are get old and they just need some hope to live further.
Athiests believe in the non-existence of a supreme being. The more zealous of them claim to know of the non-existence of a supreme being.Quote:
