Agnosticism is non-religious, but differs quite a bit from atheism. |

Pagan is nothing but a term used by christians to downplay non christian religions and belief systems. |

A mass murderer is human. John is a mass murderer. Therefore John is human. Religion is an aggregate, whereas Atheism is an atomic unit. "Religion" is defined as a belief system; which is to say, any belief system. Therefore, Atheism, as a belief system, is also a religion. I know what a fallacy of composition is, it just happens that this is a truth by definiton, not a logical conclusion (which is how I originally worded it). |

![]() And that is the largest problem with devotion.
But I just have to say this about atheism, being myself atheist: although it is disbelief, it can still perceived as a belief; but it can't be religion, because there's no organized or common behavior, rules or gatherings. However, this brought to my mind, why not? Why not establish "Temple of Atheism"? Edit: Forgot to bring this into discussion: How about science? Some of us never get to test and proof things they claim to be true. Let's take as simple example as our own solar system... Have I ever truly proved it to be like they claim? No. Hence I believe in science... |

![]() The reason why most dictionaries do not classify pagan beliefs as religions is the same reason why PRC does not want to recognise Taiwan as an independent country. Main religions for centuries, christianity first of all, have fought strongly against the original religions/beliefs of people, thus the term pagan to put everything else together. As far as I know there is no religion or belief with the name Pagan. It is used to put into the same basket many beliefs/religions.
In other words, and I won't repeat it, believe whatever you want, but "paganism" contains religions. plix, atheism is not a religion. Just because people believe in the non existance of gods, doesn't make them followers of the religion of atheism. The same way that communism is not a religion. |

![]() So you can have a country whose political system is atheist? Seeing as atheism and communism are the same sort of thing, according to you.. ^^
Communism is a way of life. Atheism is the belief there is no god. Atheism is a religion in the sense that it states something about god (That he dosen't exist)
