No, you’re wrong - Atheism is the opposite of religion - it’s disbelief, not belief. This whole “well actually atheism is just another kind of religion” thing

This whole “well actually atheism is just another kind of religion” thing is why I begrudgingly have started to prefer describing myself as ‘irreligious,’ just so that there is absolutely no opportunity for equivocation.
- I011010011 6mo agoAs Mikhail_Edoshin pointed out precisely in the comment below. Religious thinking has certain common characteristics. For example, you go to length to defend Atheism is a sort of X negating a Y etc, that's emotional investment indicating religious adherence and sincere belief in being right. I, from time to time, suffer from this too. It's very indication that I'm likely being misguided by myself or ideas.
