this is cool i guess not great. I guess if you want to know bout where each religion expands then this is good.
religion is your beliefs so atheists believe there isnt a god and so therefore have a belief.
Religion is a belief in some sort of ultimate being or "God". If you think just because you have a belief there is no god then i guess if someone believes 1+1=11 then thats a religion too????
Just because you have a belief doesnt make it a religion. Atheist can be a religion but it has to have a reason or somethign why we are here like other religions have.

So...what you're saying is, I should make the belief of apples a religion simply because I believe they taste good?

And this is very interesting. Nice find, MM. :)

no i am saying that there are many religions and it varies to person to person if it based on what you believe. Religion it suposed to be what you believe, and so atheistism is a religion because it is a belief, and has has much prove as many other religions as being true. Saying i can create a religion on apples is stupid because it is not spritual, and so to have a religion you must have spritual thinking as well sometimes, even if you dont believe in god you can be spiritual.

Religion-

A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe when considered as a result of creation from a superhuman entity, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

Atheism-

Disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings

-------

Atheism is not a religion, Atheism is a denouncement of all things involving Religion, the belief of a Supreme Being, and all such doctrines. Atheism is simply a stance to follow your own beliefs regarding morals and the universe, without the notion of Supreme beings.

Religion is the belief of some form of higher power, involving ritualistic acts of devotion, and doctrines of moral code to be followed.

Ahah. Thanks for clearing that up a little.

I see how that would make sense, but since the world is so caught up in other major religions (such as Christianity, for example), and because it's so wide-spread, atheism cannot hold a place there since it isn't a theolistic system. It, simply, is a belief that there is nothing supernatural (as you know). So there'd be no reason to call it a religion or necessary belief and mark it anywhere, since it's just a natural idealism.

EDIT: Nvm, TMM got it before me. D:

Atheism... is certainly not a religion.

Very interesting presentation, Milky. It's neat to see how fast Christianity spread in the last few centuries. Christianity is, indeed, expanding.

They should have shown more events besides the birth of religious figures and the Crusades.

It's still very interesting.
