14. Nope. Religionists claiming lack of a religion is a religion...

… either don’t understand reality, or intentionally deny it.

Atheism. Is. Not. A. Religion.

Atheism is LACK of religion. The vacuum of space is not an atmosphere. It is the lack of atmosphere. Not having a dog isn’t an alternative version of dog ownership. It is a lack of having a dog.

Butthurt religionists luuuuuuurve to try to put atheism on an even par with their religion, when the idea is factually, bizarrely, wrong. Atheists get to be wrong like everyone else. The difference is, atheists being wrong about many things is their own opinion, not a claim that they are OF COURSE they are right because their imaginary friend said so, QED.

SO naw, don’t even go there. Bill Maher has no religion. He is objecting to people trying to run the lives of others, often cruelly and bizarrely so, because the imaginary friend in their religion supposedly said to do it.
