We've all heard this before: that atheism is a religion or a belief, sometimes with the aside that it takes more faith to be an atheist than to be a believer. Sure, the logic is warped (big surprise!), but that isn't my point here.

What I want to do with this post is gather the classic comebacks we have employed to pull believers' pants down about this whole atheism-as-belief BS. Such as - If Atheism is a religion then:

  • Bald is a hair color
  • Not collecting stamps is a hobby
  • Your birthday suit is clothing


You get the idea. So, what can we add to this list? The more, the merrier!

Good one!

Now that's funny!

A few weeks ago, Bill Maher did a new rules segment on atheism.  He said:

If atheism is a religion, then abstinence is a sex position.

I saw it and remember it ... now that you remind me!  [grin!]

Good one!

True

Very neat, Steve, thanks for putting that up!

Thanks - will check that out Steve!

Great list, Steve.  Thanks for sharing. 

I liked "then health is a disease," "a blank word document is an essay", and "anorexia is a diet." 

I'm on day ten of a head cold, so being clever is out of reach for me at the moment... I'll have to just enjoy the cleverness of others. ;-)
