Well, yeah, of course. But it's still more useful to have at least a loose grouping than just having a few million random people.unbeataBULL wrote:note that every group can be grouped by something they lack. Liberals lack conservatism, so they could be called "unconservatives" or something. Christians could be said to lack atheism.
The fact that you or others are united under atheism does not mean we have a monolithic, "set-in-stone" code of ethics. By definition, each atheist must choose his own set of values.

You could be an Athorist, and not be an Atheist. They are called Christians, Jews, and Moslems. (They believe in the gods of Allah, Yaweh, and Jehova.)
An Atheist is by definition an Athorist, but the reverse need not be.

I don't go much in for worshipping...gratefulness if any of the religious stories are true, yes, but not worship. You don't worship your parents, after all.

...Well, yeah, but I tend to hope that that's more an indicator of the stupidity/power-hungriness of the people running the religions, rather than an indicator of the behavior of the creator of reality (if one does exist).unbeataBULL wrote:Especially when they are deliberately cruel and vindictive.Molyneux wrote:You don't worship your parents, after all.
