And I don’t mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.

What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

    Used to be atheist when I was young, after I read religious books I changed my perspective about it and now I am agnostic.

    Now I believe atheism it’s like a religion also

      All these comments about people going from religion to atheism getting up votes, and you answer the same question but get down voted for not being atheist enough. Kinda reinforces your point.

        I don’t think it’s far fetched to call non-religion a type of belief but to compare them further than that is missing the point of atheism.

        At some point I realized atheist people are just non-religious fanatics, just as obsessed as religious fanatics but sometimes they are worst, trying to convince everyone around them.

        In my humble POV both sides are very toxic people.

          So your issue is with shitty people not atheism or religion.

      Saying that atheism is a religion makes as much sense as saying that theism is a religion. Neither of them are religions, they’re precursors to religion. I consider myself an atheist, but simply stating that I lack a belief that there is a God doesn’t itself become a fundamental part of my personality. Sure, there are people out there who get obsessed with the philosophical and social aspects of atheism, and they let it consume their whole personality, but I wouldn’t call fishing a religion just because somebody has an aberrant proclivity for it.
