I don't go to a building and dance and sing to my belief of no diety. I do not go and seek out others who believe in the lack of a diety to associate and grow together. I don't go on to claim wars over the land holy to my belief of no diety. I don't go on to terrorize my children and tell them they are unloved because they're born in a way that offends my belief in the lack of a diety. I don't go on to terrorize my neighbors and tell them they are unloved because they offend my belief in the lack of a diety. I don't go to other people who have different beliefs and tell them they are wrong due to their belief in a diety. And that my belief is the only way they can be saved. Atheism is NOT a religion, it is not a system of beliefs in any meaningfully comparable way. You can rearrange words all you want, but the difference in result (not word choice) is anything but subtle.

You will find that your statements are easily flipped if you are truly honest in looking for answers. My intention is not to paint with a wide brush, just to demonstrate that everyone has beliefs, and they manifest in different ways. >>>>I don't go to a building and dance and sing to my belief of no diety. ( I believe seculars call it a rave.) >>>>>>I do not go and seek out others who believe in the lack of a diety to associate and grow together. (any number of activities can fall in this category in fact) >>>>>>I don't go on to claim wars over the land holy to my belief of no diety. (I believe are referring to Bush/Obama nation-building) >>>>>> I don't go on to terrorize my children and tell them they are unloved because they're born in a way that offends my belief in the lack of a diety. (I believe you are referring to the secular terrorism, that is human-to-human, i.e. calling others "Deplorables" ) >>>>>I don't go on to terrorize my neighbors and tell them they are unloved because they offend my belief in the lack of a diety. (see above) >>>>>I don't go to other people who have different beliefs and tell them they are wrong due to their belief in a diety. And that my belief is the only way they can be saved. (I believe there is no need to say X is wrong when instead they resort to shut them up #cancelculture) Atheism is not a religion, but it is a belief system like any other. It may appeal to logical people, but that doesn't make it better or worse. Its just a different way to perceive the world around you.

Not sure how any of that relates to my rearranging the words. I was just making it follow the dictionary definition of atheism more closely, i.e. belief that there is no god. No more implication than that. It is, however, actively a belief. It's not "I don't care" or "it's different to the one you believe in", or "I don't believe there is a god", it is "I believe there is no god" Never said atheism was a religion, would never say that because it's objectively false.
