Originally posted by rwingett Are you claiming that Pantheism is synonymous with atheism, or that people somehow put their faith in atheism (despite it having no content)?
That's funny rwingett. Like we're these two kids riding our bicycles on the same sidewalk and then manage to collide.
No. I was just posting along minding my own business with no particular destination in view. I think I thought I was merely adding to a list of religions. Not that I necessarily believe atheism is a religion. Although I believe I heard that a certain group of individuals filed with the federal government to have atheism classified a religion. Don't really know or care much.
Everyone has the right to choose what they want to believe.

The only ones trying to have atheism classified as a religion are Christians.

"The Religion Facts A-Z Religion Index is a quick index to our articles and sections on major world religions, from ancient faiths to new religious movements. It is not comprehensive, of course, and grows regularly. This list is larger than the one on the main page, as it includes sects and denominations (like Baptist or Zen) along with major religions (like Christianity or Buddhism). ReligionFacts is very inclusive with what is regarded as a "religion" for purposes of this index and this website. Some of these belief systems may not be "religions" according to traditional definitions (they might better be called "philosophies" or [movements]), and some are even anti-religion. The grounds for a group's inclusion is simply that it offers an explanation of ultimate reality or the purpose of life. See our Big Religion Chart* to compare the basics of over 40 faiths."
