Socialism itself is not the problem. The problem there is bad implementation of a good idea.
Atheism is a smart choice for people who do not need a safety net from reality.
Atheism is a false religion. The true atheist doesn't exist, because he knows that God might exist somewhere that he hasn't examined, yet. This means that even though he wants to be an atheist, and even though he says he is an atheist, he is a liar, and he may not even know it.
atheism is not A RELIGION.
"The true atheist doesn't exist, because he knows that God might exist somewhere that he hasn't examined, yet."
- I agree on this, maybe atheist are still waiting for a moment where God really shows up .
According to the definition of
religion, atheism is definitely a religion. See #6 in the definition at
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/religion?s=t. Other parts of the definition hold, as well.
The definition of atheism at
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/atheism?s=t says:
1. the doctrine or belief that there is no God.
2. disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.
The more a so-called atheist thinks about atheism, the more he know that God might exist somewhere. When he knows this, he can't believe that God doesn't exist.
The only atheists that have "disbelief" are the ones who never thought about it one way or the other. But even they understand God in their hearts.
Atheism is a sham and a hoax, just like evolution.
