    Religion involves the worship of a god or gods. Atheism, by definition, is not a religion. No matter how much you can't fathom living without one.

    Zealotry is, of course, another matter.
    Religion: a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith

    Atheism:
    a: a lack of belief or a strong disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods
    b: a philosophical or religious position characterized by disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods

    Probably the wrong thread, but hey....

    By that definition, anything can be a religion. Is Glock a religion now? Or does the word "religion" not mean the same thing that it has meant for centuries?

    I guess it depends on the what the meaning of the word "is" is. Bill Clinton would be proud.

    You gotta skip down to the 4th definition in Merriam Webster's dictionary to get to that one.


    (MW is the whore of the dictionary world and isn't picky about what definition they let in.)

    It is a non-theistic religion (which is literally what A-theism means obviously), not unlike Daoism.
