lucky1826, that was completely uncalled for and very rude.

Just so you know:
I bet you celebrate your birthday, Christmas, Easter, and exchange in the use of money

-Everyone has the right to celebrate the day of their birth, you don't have to believe in God for that
-Christmas and Easter were originally Pagan holidays, not Christian, and had nothing to do with God
-Money has nothing to do with God, and maybe the American currency says in God we trust, but it's still currency and is still necessary for survival, regardless of what it says - to stop using money over 4 meaningless words would be stupid and irrational.

You are the one who needs to do some growing up.

The definition of atheist is somebody who doesn't believe in *any* higher power...agnostic is one who believes in one, but that it lacks definition or form (eg, that we all have the right idea of a god but that it's not the judeo - christian, nor other, ideal).

If you don't believe God exists, then you are an atheist, but atheism, itself, is not a religion.

Atheism is not a religion. It is the absense of belief in god. Those who believe are theists, those who don't are atheists.

I am an athiest, and I have no religion.

Agnosticism is the position of believing that knowledge of the existence or non-existence of God is impossible. [[Kinda like in between Theism and Atheism]]

Theism is the denial of the existence of all gods except one. [[Theism denies atheism.]]

Atheism is the disbelief in the existence of God at all.

So it sounds like your an Atheist. [[But as said above Atheism isn't a religion.]]

I'm an Atheist as well =]

Just don't call yourself anything. I don't believe in any religion, but I don't like to be labed so I don't call myself an atheist either.

Actually theism is a belief in AT LEAST one God... Monotheism is the belief in only one God...

I'm struggling with trying to define my religious beliefs as well, and I came across a rather interesting one. Google Unitarian Universalism. Some would say they're the religion that believes in everything and nothing, but I find their laid back approach to be refreshing. Members of the church include Agnostics, Atheists, Buddhists, Christians, Humanists, Wiccans as well as homosexuals and transgender individuals. The you church focuses on helping people discover what they believe instead of force feeding you their version of nonsense.

Atheism isn't a religion... It's the absolute opposite. If it were a religion it would be a completely contradicting idea. Atheism is the absence of belief.

Oh, lucky1826, you need to grow up and educate yourself before you try to shove sh!t down people's throats... Try researching the word, it's spelled a t h e I s t...

lucky1826
what are you? 12 years old?
DONT some to a question about atheists’ telling them not to preach
when you are preaching your beliefs
this question is about what an atheist is
its not a question inviting christians to preach there god to everyone, saying your wrong, you need to believe in it, ect
its not your JOBB to do that
and you obviously have no RESPECT for different peoples beliefs
so without respect, you will get NONE in return
celebrating things has nothing to do with NEEDING believing in a religion
your god didn’t poof money into existence
most christians aren’t even educated about there own religion
and humans did not evolve from apes
if you’ve ever bothered to read a science book, you would know that they both evolved from a common ancestor
as for me I am a proud athiest
and will also always believe that (your religion) is full of crap

*** If you are the proud athiest that want us to believe that you are, then refrain from everything that has to do with God, the Bible, etc.

...or alternately, ignore this absurd advice and just go on with life celebrating birthdays, using money, etc, but without believing in any gods

*** Grow up and educate yourself before you go around preaching and believing that God does not exist.

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up my childish ways.

...which is why I'm now an atheist. Wow! An atheist just quoted the Bible! Oh the hypocrisy!!!
