    That it’s a religion. Except for a few groups, which I find kind of strange, being an atheist is the lack of religion and belief in a god. It’s not a religion or anything like a religion and so often I see atheism discussed by the religious in religious terms l, as a monolith, and other ways that just totally miss the mark.

      If religions and beliefs are like the different broadcast channels you see on TV, you get Atheism when you turn the TV off.

      It’s easier to group it up as a religion for information purposes, the amount of atheists are relevant if someone’s researching which religions people believe in.

        Most atheists are agnostic. The terms are not mutually exclusive. They describe different concepts.
