Thread Name: BS: Non-belief in a god is not a religion
Subject: RE: BS: Non-belief in a god is not a religion
A discussion on this topic is not a boxing match or a bar fight. A real discussion talks about the value of ideas, either a defense or a criticism that shares legitimate information.

Just a squabble over who is right or wrong doesn't bring into focus the reasons for the ideas presented.

Some of you may be tired of this thread but this issue is not going away since 30 million people have been cited as being non-believers of some sort.

Also, it may turn out that the recent bombing in Boston has to do with an idea of religion
in the same way that 911 did. These are a couple of reasons why this topic is important.

A Muslim woman was beaten over the Boston bombing which showed a religious bias on the part of the assailants. It is because she was a Muslim. I don't believe that atheists did that.
They don't burn down mosques either.
