Well, let's think about it.
Firstly, any religion is characterized by a belief in God/gods/a universal mind/spirits/the power of man/the special destiny of one's people.
This also includes talk about a bright future and the special role of people (especially certain ones) in achieving it, as well as evolution, self-education of the universe, etc.
Secondly, the worship of founders, prophets, and other Great Helmsmen Teachers.
Thirdly, a detailed ideology and Sacred Books.
Do I need to remind you about the Complete Works of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin or the Quotations from Chairman Mao?
Discuss?
Religion = belief + cult, in short. A cult can be seen only in Marxism-Leninism (communism) or various branches like, yes, Maoism. But these are just specific cases of atheism. In general, atheism does not necessarily have to have a cult.

The cult of the leader is not atheism, Dag. Atheism, as Aretz said, is the denial of the existence of a god/gods or their equivalents. Don't confuse religion with worldview or ideology.

And in its place, Evolution, Nature, the Great Random, Man Reasonable

Yes, evolution and nature. And not an unfalsifiable statement about the existence of higher powers.

Instead, we have Evolution, Nature, Great Randomness, and Homo Sapiens.
These are questions of faith (to varying degrees and in not quite the same sense of the word, actually), but not of a cult. Without a cult, there is no religion.

What do you mean? Or are you using a phone...

No cult, no religion.
Chan Buddhism - is it a religion or not?

What do you mean?
It is impossible to design an experiment that would prove or disprove (more importantly, disprove) a statement.
Chan Buddhism - is it a religion or not?
It is a religion.

Ah, I think what confused him was the double negative... Dag, Ples meant that "evolution, etc., is not a falsifiable statement." That's how his statement should be interpreted.

Dagr
Great Random
:smile51::smile51::smile51:

Am I the only one who agrees with Dagr that atheism can be considered a religion?

Of course, it's not the only one.
Where do we go?
Where do we end up when we save the world?
