Just as predicted, you didn’t dare to address the actual argument at hand, except to say plainly that *”Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith.”* “Our belief is not a belief” doesn’t even make sense. What you’ve done here is simply write a long diatribe of word salad without actually saying anything. Reminds me of any given politician. Sounds nice, but means nothing. I’ve made my case, explaining quite thoroughly exactly why atheism is, in fact, a religion. You’ve done nothing to counter the argument. You have said nothing to challenge either of the specific points I use to make my argument. Incidentally, your inability or unwillingness to even attempt to do so only further solidifies my contention that your belief system is 100% faith-based. Because if it weren’t, you’d actually think about the points I’ve made in a logical fashion, disassociating and disconnecting your preconceived notion for just long enough to consider and then either accept or reject them based on some sort of logical thought process. Instead, you chose to completely ignore them (because thinking too hard gives you a headache I guess) and tell yourself “no matter what anyone says or how much sense it makes, I still believe there is no God.” That’s the very definition of “faith-based” belief, my friend. In short, you can’t prove - *yet you still believe* - that there is no intelligent creator of life. That alone necessarily puts you squarely in the camp of a faith-based belief. It’s the very definition of it since “faith” is literally believing something that you can’t prove. And because the term “religion” is just another word for “faith-based belief system,” that’s game-set-match. There are no two ways about it, and no amount of flowery word salad essays changes that truth.
