Correction. Atheism isn't a rejection of religion. It is a lack of belief in God or gods.
The canonical example of the difference is that plenty of religious Buddhists are also atheists.
- aksss 6y agoYes, I know a few atheists whose fervor walks, talks, and quacks like a religious zealot.
- teawrecks 6y agoThat would be anti-theism, or "strong atheism", though. It's the difference between "not holding any belief related to the existence of a god", and "holding the belief that there is no god". Not to be confused with "agnosticism" which is "holding the belief that it cannot be known whether there is a god".
