[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]Here is what you dont get:
Even if the Sunday Assembly counts as a religion that just means that the sunday assembly is a religion, not atheism. You might as well say that because some people are satanist that all humans are satanist.
It is absurd.
BTW: American Atheist, and the FFRF foundation both have THOUSANDS of members. Probably more than the SA. In fact, assuming the website for the sunday assembly is correct and there is 68 chapters and assuming that they all draw 300 people (which is a idiotic overestimation at best) that would put them at 1800 members. That is less members than EITHER AA or FFRF; both of which are purely american associations while your SA is global...
I made my case. The very fact that I, BMUS, and all the other atheist here saying you are wrong even exist proves you wrong. We exist and prove that atheism is not a belief. Scream SA all you want, we still exist. QED.
I didn't claim to own it, again a strawman argument. Can you not argue with anything other than fabrication and fallacies? No, I made my case and backed it up with actual proof. You ignore it because...the facts don't support a single word you say.
YOU ARE WRONG.
You ignore us ACTUAL SELF IDENTIFYING ATHEISTS. WHO LIVE IN THE REAL WORD TOO. We are atheists because we identify as such, and we meet the definition. You don't get to invalidate us.
And we do know how to have fun, to live and love life, and who help their fellow humans. Again you don't know us, you are not god. That is a baseless ad hominem because you have no case and have to resort to insults.
Further, there are atheists from London, England to Sydney, Australia to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to New York, Boston, Atlanta, San Diego, etc. etc. in the USA...atheists ALL OVER THE WORLD--saying the same thing we are. But you ignore them because they prove you wrong.
And for all those people attending the Sunday Assembly...you have no freaking clue if they think atheism is a religion or belief or not. Really, unless you interview every single one of them...you have no clue. In fact, not a single one of those people in those videos said atheism is a religion or belief.
Quit using them as your pawns.
If all you have are fallacies and asserting your right while ignoring everything to the contrary then I am done with you. I addressed everything you said, pointed out the fallacies and why they are wrong and backed myself up multiple authoritative sources and facts and logic that you ignored and resort to ad hominems.
TO purposely ignore the statements of actual atheists about what atheism is, is anti-athiest bigotry. No different than to telling a gay person what being homosexual mean.
I won't waste any more time on you.[/font]
