Religions of Southperry

If atheists actually followed this core principle, I would agree with you. But the vast majority of them do not. In a perfect world where everyone does what they say they are going to do and nothing more/nothing less, then you are correct, atheism would not be a religion. Atheism should not be a religion, but people have made it into one.

See, the thing is, "believing" science isn't religion.
Mainly because science is based off empirical evidence, does not promote itself as infallible, does not promise that there is some reward for those that believe, and frankly has no central immutable belief system.
Those are what I understand to be the main tenants of a religion.

That, my friend, is called misinterpretations. In most cases, i have been thought by my religion to have morals. Respect your parents, no sex before marriage, patience etc... hey, im not saying people of other religion or people with no religion don't have these morals but religion thought me so.

Refer to the fact that morality is subjective. Those things aren't necessarily moral by someone else's standards. Especially the first two.
