    thus Atheism and Religion both make conclusions without evidence

    No they don’t

    What, just trust you bro?

    So you’re an atheist :) Welcome to the club!

    Not cool. I am that which I am, and chose not to say what that is. This is like telling a Jew they’re a Christian because the old testament is heavily cribbed from Jewish texts.

      If you do not believe in a god, you are an atheist, I’m sorry that offends you but that is literally the definition

          Personally, I’m happy to eclectically pick and choose wisdom from many religions (shame they so often ignore the source material in practice), but that doesn’t make me believe in god/s,

          Last reply, I need to get some doughnuts

          Or better yet, tell me which god you believe in, that’s easy enough ?

            Does not mean I do or do not believe, just that I’m not made to, as said.

      Not quite. It’s like telling someone who says they’re Jewish, that Christ was the true savior and son of God, and that he brought a new covenant that comes before the covenant formed with moses that they’re describing Christianity.

      That’s exaggerating the point, but my meaning is that while your beliefs are your’s and it’s rude to correct someone on them, the word used to describe those beliefs can be much more readily discussed.
