Hyperqube Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'd say that one thing all religions share is some kind of organised belief system, which buddists do have. As as I said before though, this is all just semantics Well ... a buddy of mine is one of them atheistic buddhist (strife towards having no disire, 'cause it's the source of suffering, and all that), and he identifies as one, but he's not part of some organisation. Understandably, there's little done (like forming or maintaining an organisation) around a religion that advocates wanting something is bad. And I agree it's all semantics. it just struck me as interesting that the post of "what is atheism?" Apo posted basically compained others define what they are, while they themselves do it.

Administrators Teeny Tiny Cat Posted October 7, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 7, 2015 When I say it's organised I mean as a belief system, not as in each individual person is a member of an exact organisation, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure what you mean, but I'm not even sure if it matters - as by your own words - there are atheists who have it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cąℓσceđrus ☁☽ Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 science is simply fact if someones religion cannot be reconciled with science than that religion is flawed people in the united states who call themselves christian have not read the bible and do not believe in the full power of the god they pretend to worship if they did they would realize science, evolution, and the big bang are never refuted by the bible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a99Bomb99 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Atheism probably isn't a relegion. I mean, wouldn't we have practices if we were religious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Azoff Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Of course it's not a religion... This sums it up pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A41WZBcmnfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
