QUESTION: You have the oppotunity to take a trip in space and explore a far-away world. Money is no object, and you have a reasonably good chance of surviving the trip. But there is also a chance that you will be gone for many years from earth. Do you stay, or do you go?

Very true. Vegetarianism is another form of meat eating. To be pedantic, veganism is the term you were looking for, because that's where you avoid any foods created by, from or tainted with animal products.

- Scoble, Alex Scoble
nope. the right analogy would be "vegetarianism is another form of eating". Adding "meat" to the "eating" in that analogy is just twisting it a little to fit the argument IMO.

Veganism is another form of carnivorism.
- Dave Slusher
The only reason I didn't say "carnivorism" originally is that it is a cumbersome, not everyday sort of word.
- Dave Slusher
Religion is a very specific belief system that allows for the supernatural. Atheism is a very specific belief system that does not allow for the supernatural. They are disjoint sets. Trying to fudge semantics on this point will be unproductive.
- Dave Slusher
Religion is a specific belief system agreed to and adhered to by a group of individuals. It does not need to encompass the supernatural. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse...
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
It's just like how anarchy is a form of government. The null form.

How can X = 'absence of X'? In what logic system?
- Bora Zivkovic

- Scoble, Alex Scoble
OTOH, it's unfortunate that atheism/agnosticism doesn't get the same legal protections of conscience that religions do, at least in the US.
- Tinfoil 2.0
If religious belief was 0, then atheism would be 0 as well. But since religious belief is certainly non-0 but a certain value of X, then atheism cannot be X as well, since it is not-X or 'absence of X'
- Bora Zivkovic
I think what matters is what the definition of religion is. If religion equals "world view", then yes, I guess atheism fits that bill.
- Meryn Stol
Religion is expressed through rituals, prayers ecc. for this reason Atheism can't be defined as religion.
- Manuela
I also like to see atheists take a seat at the "interfaith" table. That is, those atheists who have at least faith in something, like the ability to better ourselves.
- Meryn Stol
That is a dangerous conflation of two different dictionary definitions of the word "faith".
- Bora Zivkovic
Religion doesn't need to be expressed through rituals or prayers, you can't put your religious framework as THE definition of what a religion is. Religion is simply a belief system. That is all.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Wikipedia says about religion: "A religion is an organized approach to human spirituality which usually encompasses a set of narratives, symbols, beliefs and practices, often with a supernatural or transcendent quality, that give meaning to the practitioner's experiences of life through reference to a higher power or truth." In that sense, no, atheism is really NOT a religion. :)
- Meryn Stol
To believe that the universe was created out of random chance and that there is no god is still a belief system. To believe nothing is still to believe in something.

- vijay
I belong to the "unicorns don't exist" religion
- Alejandro
@alex basically, anything you follow.. religiously. It's where the term came from ;)
- alphaxion
"To believe that the universe was created out of random chance and that there is no god is still a belief system." NOT! It is not in any way akin to religious (blind) belief. It is the understanding of the world as it is, not belief in whatever parents or preachers say no matter how far removed from reality, for the sake of group cohesion, a.k.a., differentiation between in-group and out-group, which is what religion is.
- Bora Zivkovic
Wouldn't it be better to drop the term "atheism" and instead state that you're "not religious"? That would be much clearer I think.
- Meryn Stol
People believing in god don't have to be religious. if they don't belong to any religion they are theists.
- Alejandro
That is what the word means: a+theism. It's not my fault that the religionists managed to frame it negatively.
- Bora Zivkovic
I 'got' the post, found it funny, understand the point, am now moving on.
- Aaron Macom
Your understanding of belief as blind is incorrect and too narrow. As is most people's definition of religion. To say that an atheist doesn't believe anything is to completely ignore how the human brain HAS to function in order for US to function. Without belief there is no way a self aware being can survive.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Alex, I'd say that having beliefs is not the same as being religious.
- Meryn Stol
belief and religion are not the same
- Alejandro
That is a dangerous conflation of two different dictionary definitions of the word "belief"
- Bora Zivkovic
Alejandro, actually it is. People have a word for it - "faith".
- vijay
no it's not
- Alejandro
BELIEF: something believed; an opinion or conviction. RELIGION: a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
- Alejandro
That is, again, a dangerous conflation of two different dictionary definitions of the word "faith".
- Bora Zivkovic
@Alex I got your point but I still think that there's no religion without practice; you can believe in God or in Ceiling Cat but your personal feeling doesn't make you a religious person. Religion is a shared knowledge
- Manuela
All "religions" have a set of prayers, rituals, beliefs, etc. Atheism is a non-belief in a higher-power. Agnosticism is a question of whether there is a higher power. Not religious can encompass both Agnosticism as well as Atheism. But Agnostics can sometimes participate in "religion" like an inter-faith service. However, there are two distinct types of Athiests. One is really more of a satanic "religion" than a non-belief......
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
Correct, Manuela. Individual belief in God is spiritualism in some sense. Religion is always a collective, group endeavor as the main purpose of religion is differentiating the in-group from out-group: who is with us who is 'gainst us: http://www.amazon.com/Darwins...
- Bora Zivkovic
....True Athiests actually do not take part in ANY faith-based activity, reject the notion of a higher power, and are more often than not pretty docile and kind people. I am more in-between Atheist and Agnostic. Atheism is not a religion really, it's a lack of a religion.
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
Hey, I am an atheist, and a vocal one to boot, and I am hosting a Seder tomorrow. Dawkins celebrates Christmas. When properly secularized, the old religious traditions can be quite pleasant.

@Mike: "satanic religion"? how? I'm curious. :)
- Alejandro
@Bora yep, and they also make the economy go round

If you have to broaden the definition of "religion" to "any arbitrary belief system" in order to disprove my original post, then the word has no actual meaning anymore.

Ummm... Many/Most Buddhists are atheists. I'm Buddhist, but I hold the question of whether or not there's a God as more or less irrelevant in my daily life. So I guess that makes me a religious agnostic? And yes, Buddhism is actually a religion.
- iTad
I'm an Atheist and I love when someone asks me if I believe in/worship the devil. LOL
- BEX
@tad buddhists can't be atheistic because they still have a set of rituals and dogma they follow *religiously*. Lack of belief in a god does not equate to atheisim. Personally I don't think anyone can be a true atheist due to the fact that it would require the total absense of any philosophy in order to purge out theistic practices. If anything, buddhism closely matches my own belief more than any other, but I still reject even their practices.
- alphaxion
The word Atheist means someone who doesn't believe in God, right? No religion is not the same as Atheist. You can believe in God, but have no religion and not be an Atheist. Unless I'm horribly confused.
- iTad
Seems to me the whole point of religion is to create the space where X can indeed equal NOT X. (I usually find it pretty hard to continue the conversation when that little tidbit surfaces.) @Dave, it's also been said "atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby" :) (More of this topic all the time over here: http://beta.friendfeed.com/aasfshn...) <-- is that shameless or what?
- Edward Zwart
Atheism is a lack of belief in unprovable (by definition unprovable, not 'yet-unproven but potentially provable') concepts, which in most religions (not Buddhism) includes a belief in God.

- Dossy Shiobara
Oh: How is atheism not a form of religion? If you had actual proof of atheism's correctness, that would be one thing - but, as any religion, atheists believe based on faith that their theory of God's existance (or lack thereof) is true. Atheism is just a step above cult following, really.
- Dossy Shiobara
@dossy atheism isn't a belief. it's not a claim of anything (never mind any correctness), it's the rejection of all theistic creations in all their forms. It's the equiv of stucking your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes & singing "lalalala". Most atheists just carry on their lives & observe nothing spiritual. Some will celebrate their lack of faith, but in my eyes anyone that visibly celebrates their lack of faith, displays faith. By showing you are atheistic, you no longer are. A new quantum kitty?
- alphaxion
This has well crossed my threshold of what I can keep up with. I'm doubling down on my original statement but addressing bad logic is way more work then good. Obfuscators - mission accomplished!
- Dave Slusher
One particular philosophy of the several labeled 'atheism' is equivalent to a religion (the assertion, as an article of faith without proof, that there is no god). There are milder forms that make non-religious assertions (ie. that there is no proof for the existence of god, and asserting the unreasonableness of believing in something without proof, while acknowledging that proving a negative assertion is inherently impossible). Also, agnosticism often gets lumped in as well.
- Michael R. Bernstein
If nothing else, the thread has gotten bizarrely interesting. It's like watching a train wreck. Who'd think that making an assertion about having a lack of belief in the supernatural would be this controversial? So much for our evil genius just leaving us with a gentle "Thought For The Day"...

Personally, I think the whole question is pointless. I'm Apatheist... Whether there's a space man up there watching me or not, it's up to me to make things happen for me in my life and take responsibility for my actions and situation. The time and energy arguing about what religion is or not and which one is the right one could be spent to so much more productive purposes. I don't have a problem with people practicing religion because they need it as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others.
- Lindsay
To quote somebody or other, "If atheism is a religion, then not playing chess is a hobby".

This reminds me that the framing of religious people as "people of faith" bothers me, as it assumes atheists as lacking faith of any kind.
- Eric Berlin
Still like the old, "if atheism is a religion then bald is a hair color."
- Jack&Cleo
Atheism depends first of all on your definition of Theism. The very first Christians were once considered Atheists by the pagan religious mainstream of their day. Not much has changed, really. Same religious mainstream, with a surface layering of monotheism, but essentially the same as the pagan days. Or hasn't anyone guessed that the Trinity is a hedge bet sitting between polytheism and monotheism? A good honest atheist isn't that bad.
- George Hall (Australia)
I've never heard that one, but I can see why it would be frustrating. Atheism is a statement about God, but that doesn't make it a religion.

- Dave Slusher
Here, let me sum up and contrast my definitions: A belief in the (unprovable) lack of god is religious, while a lack of belief in an (unprovable) god is not. These are very different, but unfortunately both positions get labeled as 'atheism', and both can be described as 'not believing in god'.

For its first couple of hundred years, the Christian church refused to play any part in weddings, considering them something to be left to the state. It wasn't until quite a while later that that changed. However, like evangelicals being the biggest *supporters* of the separation of church/state for 200+ years, things change and people act like it's always been this way.
- J Wynia
Keep in mind that there is a BIG difference between religion and 'organized' religion. You can have faith and never attend church. Just because the church 'government' doesn't support what you do doesn't mean that it's wrong in the eyes of God or other people of faith for that matter.

I would love it if FriendFeed offered a 'Return to Top' link at the bottom of the page. It would be great to have on the laptop, even better to have when viewing pages on a PDA/smartphone.
I agree. I like FF but it could be a little more navigation friendly. Also SMS would be great.

I take it this High School Musical thing is pretty popular.
Oh yea. We actually had a HSM2 party. Yes I am THAT cool.

I'm not mentioning any names but if you have a web-based award show, website sponsors should not be allowed to be nominees. Seems a bit shady.

I'll mention the Podcast "Circle Jerk" Awards. Not only that, there is a very small circle that gets the nominations and the win. True CJ.

Podcasting is funny like that. Everyone has a circle but some of the awards are a joke.

All podcast awards are ridiculous. I've made blog posts analyzing this, but for those with enough awards to be statistically significant, it always breaks down for me like this: 10% are shows I like; 40% are shows I have tried and hate; 50% are shows I've never otherwise even heard of.

Nice to see that at least 2 podcasts I actually listen to are nominated though (those are Geek Syndicate and Q!PAW), but I agree with the other comments. Now I am torn as to who to vote for as they are both in the same category.
