If Atheism Were a Religion

July 28, 2010 | Filed under: Secular Blogs | Posted by:

Since the word “atheist” notes a lack of belief rather than a set of beliefs, it’s a pretty absurd concept to think of it as a religion. It would be like thinking of not collecting stamps as a hobby.

But it’s still nice to imagine a world where religious people got a taste of what it would be like if atheists were (1) the majority, and (2) as pushy or confrontational about their beliefs as religious people.

Imagine that.
