The best way I've heard it put is that if world religions were different hair colors, atheism would simply be "bald." Is not believing that leprechauns exist a religion? No, it's a logical conclusion based on lack of evidence.

We have no supernatural beliefs in regards to superhuman agency or otherwise, no rituals, and no codes and dogmas in some "atheist bible."

We don't fit the definition of religion at all, although many people keep trying again and again to shoehorn us in.

First, let me make clear, we aren't affiliated with those protesters at all. We think they're scumbags. We're an atheist student group from the University at Buffalo who went to check out the pageant, interview actors, and just so happened to take video of these morons.

Now, if you're saying we're a religion because you saw we're an atheist group, you're wrong.  Atheism isn't a religion, it's a logical conclusion...

For how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served, and who is a stranger unto him, and is far from the thoughts and intents of his heart? Mosiah 5:13

A Question to all the LDS out there: Why do you think these people (Evangelical and Fundamentalist Christians) will ever respect you? Why do you guys try so hard to fit in with them, vote Republican and in general act like them? I am an Atheist, but I used to be an Evangelical - and let me say those folks have a SERIOUS hatred of Mormonism. As for me? Me, it's not for me, but if it makes you happy keep up with it. It's hard to be happy. Peace!

@whyyesimlds I think the right issue to protest is the lack of archeology. In the face of such outrageous claims a little evidence would be a welcome sight to the Hierarchy and its flock. Someday the Mormons will investigate the claims of Mormonism as deeply as they research their genealogies and that will really open their eyes!

I went to the July 11th showing with my mom, because it was my birthday present. She is Roman Catholic, and she does not like that I am LDS, but she takes me anyway, and enjoys the show for its story and she likes how nice the people are who go to see it. I honestly believe that it's wrong to protest like this and judge and criticize. In the end, there is One Judgment, and that's the one that really counts, so I just try to be the best person I can be. God bless you all! :)

@ThundaFrumDownUnda 1 Thessalonians 5:23 "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.". Sorry but the Bible shows were're 3 in 1. Jesus is the tangible connection between us and God, the Father is the decision maker (final authority), and the Holy Spirit is the power and action of God. This is just a simpe explanation. But we are three in one like God is three in one.

@ToBeSaltnLight Unless Jesus is crazy (and he's not) He wouldn't refer to himself constantly in first person and then in third person. There being plenty examples in the Bible. One being John 16:16, Pretty much all throughout John it has multiple examples of there being three separate beings; God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. John 10:16 speaks about His other fold on the American continent. 1 Corinthians 15:29 speaks about baptisms for the dead, which no other church performs.
