(135,425 posts)That, and everything else I had to say--even with links--was ignored, because I wasn't expressing the appropriate amount of poutrage on the issue at hand.
Thanks for providing the link--everyone CAN see exactly what I--and Carter--said.
All caps doesn't make your point any clearer. You need to listen to the congregants at the Sunday Assemblies, and see what they say about their church. They call it a religion without the deities, they take the baby Jesus in the bathwater and toss the baby and keep the bathwater. They have no problem with the terms that are driving you bazonkas. They also don't do doctrine or dogma, and that probably upsets you, too. And listing a lousy dictionary and a bunch of websites organized by the very haters who want to practice genocide against religious people is hardly recommending of anything but bias. See--if those particular atheists you prefer don't HAVE a religion, then they can't make any rules about an atheist religion that another group chooses to fire up. Those guys are not the boss of the Sunday Assemblies, and good thing--they are all about Hate and No, these SA guys are all about Love and Yes.
I'm not wrong. It walks like a duck. It's a religion, without the deities. Looks like a fascinating one, too--open, accepting, interested, joyful, community oriented....certainly not a "Kill All The Muslims" genocidal sit-at-home-alone hate-fest, a la Hitchens!
Anyone who celebrates living life and helping their fellow humans is a-OK with me!
