      Atheism/Agnosticism is not a religion. It is the complete lack of any religion.

        Atheism/Agnosticism is not a religion. It is the complete lack of any religion.

        Religion is a collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that establishes symbols that relate humanity to spirituality and/or moral values.

        Atheism and agnoticism is or can be a religion if the people who are adherence to be labeled with that name define a certain cultural critera, worldviews, and beliefs to be believed by it's member.

        Atheism can be defined as a religion where it's member share a common views / beliefs that there are no Theos/Deity/God.
        While Theism can be defined as a religion where it's member share a common views / beliefs that there are at least one Theos/Deity/God.

        Agnosticism be defined as a religion where it's member share a common views / belief that the truth value of certain claims?especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other metaphysical claims?is unknown or unknowable.

        Salam / Peace

          Being "Religious" about denying God is a Religion.

            Atheism is an irreligion. Atheism is hostility towards religion, the complete lack of faith, or the lack of blind belief in any scripture.

            How is it that denying any form of God or Dogma is being religious? It is the natural way.

            Religion is a collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that establishes symbols that relate humanity to spirituality and/or moral values.

            Atheism is the complete lack of any belief in a common cultural or belief system and any common world view. Atheists are people that establishes free thought in favour of religious dogma. There are no common moral values that Atheists hold. Some Atheists are spiritual, others are not. People have confused spirituality with religion.

              Atheism is the complete lack of any belief in a common cultural or belief system and any common world view.

              On contrary, atheism has a common cultural / belief in the belief of God non-existence..
              An atheist which believe in any existence of deity or deities will certainly be a non-atheist..

              Atheists are people that establishes free thought in favour of religious dogma. There are no common moral values that Atheists hold. Some Atheists are spiritual, others are not. People have confused spirituality with religion.

              That's 'free thinker' and not an atheist, a belief in God non-existence is a dogma by itself...
              A free thinker can be an atheist or theist.. to them it doesn't matter... free thinker doesn't pose any hostility towards religion on any kind including atheism.

              And those who oppose dogmatic approach are called 'critical thinker'.. to a critical thinker everything are questionable.. including the belief of God non-existence.

                Theism is not a dogma. Atheism is not a dogma. But religion is undoubtedly dogma. Atheist are to an extent agnostic, as their beliefs are not absolute.

                  Dogma something which is authoritative and not to be disputed, doubted, or diverged from.
                  I would agree if what you meant by 'religion' is actually 'organized sectarian movement' such as Sunniism, Catholicism, Shiitism, Judaism etc..

                  And again in order to 'transform' a conception of' Atheism' from 'dogma' (because you said atheism is not a dogma), then the Atheist should drop/change their 'requirement' to belief in the non-existence of God in order for someone to be called an Atheist. As thus those who believe in the existence of God (Theist) can also be called as an Atheist. Because now 'Atheist' doesn't care whether one believe in God or not, those who believe or not believe in God is now an atheist.

                    Yes, It is not absolute so you cannot be so sure.
