Atheism isn't a religion. I guess you could call it a belief, though.

Everypony knows that there are really many gods, such as Celestia, Luna and Discord, and they really just do whatever they want. It makes more sense than a single loving deity. Even one of the "good" ones were driven mad by the loneliness and lack of appreciation of the night and tried to create an eternity of night.

don't start any war, here it is:

Atheism IS a religion, because is based on a belief that THERE is no god of ANY religion, all based on NO OBJECTIVE observation.

That is: they BELIEVE there is no god but they can't prove there is no god because no one died and came to life to say there is or isn't (the same thing with faith).

But I really agree with AJ... poof!

Atheism is based on the objective observation that, throughout history, no god of any religion has been proven to exist. Nothing more. If atheism is a religion, then health is a disease, not smoking is a habit, not collecting stamps is a hobby, and a blank flank is a cutie mark.

^ that is an interesting way to put it.

Although atheism can't really be called an absence of religion, it's just a rejection of theistic belief systems. A Buddhist can be an atheist.

I also don't see why atheists have to get all insulted when their belief system gets called a religion. Technically, we have about as much proof that God doesn't exist as, say, Christians do that God does exist. That's just the nature of the beast - you can't prove that he doesn't exist.

We just decided to ignore this obviously flawed argument and assume that there is no God.

You don't HAVE to prove something doesn't exist. The burden of proof is always on the person making the claim, not the person disbelieving it. Disbelieving a claim because there's no evidence for it is not the same as believing it despite a lack of evidence. Every second you fail to provide evidence for your god is a second where atheism is logical.

^ I'm not saying that atheism is exactly as logical as religion, I'm saying that in the end, everyone has their belief system and it's pointless to get butthurt over terminology.

Atheism is divided into strong atheism (the belief that there is no deity or deities), and weak atheism (the lack of a belief in a deity or deities).
