"What Dawkins is too stupid to realise it that Athiesm is a religion itself."

Did you write that in a hurry?

Quite wrong. Atheists believe that the world in which we live can be explained entirely naturalistically and that there is no need for an all-powerful, omnipont creator. We believe that there is no purpose to our lives other than to live, procreate and die. We do not pray, waste time going to church or think there is an afterlife. We spend 80 years enjoying life to the full and not wasting time paying homage to an invisible man in the sky. We are not religious. We are merely realists.

What an epic speech. Catholicism is disgusting in teaching as well as in practice. It boggles my mind that I used to believe this crap...but then again I was brought up in it. What do you expect?

@TawntheAtheist : Good observation. The inversion of some construct is often the first construct anyway !

Wallahi, It is blind faith which only Islam rejects - only Islam that tells us to research, think, ponder and reflect and you will return humbled at the evidences of Islam.

@seabreeze08: Atheism is as much a religion as... bald is a hair colour. not being a member of a political party makes you a politician. unemployment is a career. off is a tv channel. not collecting stamps is a hobby. health is a disease. albino is a skin colour. being single is a relationship. fasting is eating. abstention is voting. laying in bed is exercise. silence is a sound. peace is a type of warfare. a circle is a type of polygon. abstinence is a sex life. naked is a clothing style.
