Where is the balance between religion and ideology

atheism is rejecting god,

Not a belief in an ideal

"We’ve deleted two tweets from earlier today saying that an explosive device had been found at Hillary and Bill Clinton’s home. The source who provided the information was incorrect. In fact, the device was intercepted at a nearby facility." - AP

Ah!

@JohnOakman there really isn't a huge distinction when it comes down to it.

Yes, that's what I pointed out reading the report.

It details the screening facilities.

Confucianism was still a religion despite being heavily focused on politics and the state

"Ideology: a system of ideas and ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy."

@Dvir You have Muslims, shariah law, christianity, inquisition, judaism, sionism, etc..

liberalism was still a religion despite being heavily focused on politics and the state and being wrong all the time

As a Christian, I reject the sins committed by Feudal Christian states

man thats gay

We can both be apologists

Interesting. These beliefs go back far.

Communism wasn't acted out as a command of atheism

Feudal christian states acted out as a command of god

I'm not an apologist, i'm stating you're making false connections

In the Atheist Communist society the state surplanted the role of God.

No, but communism is an ideology that is not religious.

@Undead Mockingbird But atheism sucks a bit cause now Europe is super super gay

yes, the state became the new god

Not a "Lack of god"

you said it yourself bub

Yes. Either way, the categorization is off.

It is irrational vs. rational.

They didn't take god away like true atheists, they replaced god with the state

And atheism is a religion

hah

obvious troll is obvious 😉

I do not care if somebody starves me because they don't know how economics works or if someone drowns me to see if I'm a witch.

I care about rational vs. irrational.

Atheism is a definite declaration that there is no God or Divine being.

also definitions are wonky here
is religion: big beard dude in the sky trowing lightning
or
idealised version of a goal to continuesly strive for to create heaven on earth like washing your penis

Reality is like a rubber band:

You can stretch it, but the further you pull, the harder it snaps back.

That applies to any action taken on non-factual beliefs.

the first one is what athiests tend to have issues with

Religion is "This is your holy book, it controls your life"
