a person, like myself, who is a 'non believer', is just that, and we would never have a god,
or a devil, there is no such thing. Satan is just as ridiculous a myth as any god.
Well said. The mistake religious people make is that they regard Atheism as another religion, just as religious people worship God; presumably Atheists worship something called ‘not God’ or ‘non God’.
That is total nonsense. Atheism does not have a Prophet or a Messiah, it does not have a Holy Book, it does not have a set of beliefs and creed, it does not promise rich reward for Atheists and does not threaten with eternal damnation, eternal torture to non believers in the afterlife (like Christianity, Islam do) or in this life (like Communism, Nazism do).
Indeed, there are many similarities between Christianity, Islam and Communism, Nazism. Communism, Nazism may be properly considered as religions. Atheism does not meet any of the criteria of religion, Atheism is just the belief that God does not exist, that what we see is all there is.
Another misconception (propagated by religionists) is that Atheists hate God. Yeah, right. Atheists hate God the same way they hate Santa Claus, Easter Bunny or the Great Pumpkin. All four are mythical figures and should be treated as such, a kind of amused indulgence, amused contempt, rather that love or hate.
