/* What about the etymology of "religion"? */
::::Still, is it wise to keep this perspective on this website? Andy thinks highly of himself, but this article (and other assertions on the site) seems kind of embarrassing. It's certainly their choice, whatever they decide, but I try to promote reason, even where people disagree with me. I hope this hasn't caused any ill feelings.

:::::Agreed with Humanperson. Personally, by claiming that Atheism is a religion, we're playing by the left's rules, which is an extremely bad idea especially regarding this site. It's not and never was a religion, it is at most a worldview, while religions, whether of the Judeo-Christian stripe or the pagan stripe, encompass a LOT more than just a worldview. What I consider a religion is something that has A. a specific deity that's being worshipped, B., explicit supernatural powers and concepts (can also be a subset of A), and C., an explicit afterlife or something to that effect. Atheism by its own admission, doesn't even have one of these three, much less all of them. Even Buddhism, despite not actually HAVING a deity that's being worshipped, at least had reincarnation and the fact that Buddha actually confronted an explicit demon and besting it in its mythos as something to tie it to religion.
