i might be completely wrong in my assumption but when a believer{christian or otherwise} say that atheism is also a relegion what theyr really, conciously or subconciously trying to say is that. atheism can be boiled down to something very similar to and on the level of belief that they have in christianity and therefore is as likely to be false as atheist claim the idea of god/relegion is which is why their arguments should not be given any more significance than the arguments made by believers on the point of view of logic etc. as its just another RELEGION.
personally i dont think atheism is anything resembling a relegion. itcould be argued that every human atheist or otherwise has to have BELIEFS to be sane but that does not mean that atheism ITSELF is a relegion,

If an atheist never considered religion or God, he wouldn't necessarily believe anything concerning religion, so it wouldn't be a belief per say. I have never considered whether or not aliens exist on Jupiter, I just accept that they don't.
But you don;t know if they do or not. 😕
Athiesm is NOT a relgion. It is a relgious philosophy.
Athiesm lacks the centralized structure that is a precursor of modern indocrtinated religion.

You can't accept something you don't know for fact without Faith!
I'm athiest, and I consider god all the time. Not so much in a positive way anymore...
but if you don't know fact, you dont need Faith to understand it. faith will do just fine. there's two definitions to the word, one implies a trust, the other implies the existance of a supernatural being. While Faith is not exclusive of faith. faith itself can be exclusive of Faith.
they should not be confused......
