Why are people answering atheist here? OP is asking for religion. It’s like if OP was asking what colour your basketballs are and having people respond (at length for some reason) that they don’t have one.

Atheism can be considered a “religion”. In fact, it’s the “religion” of people who believe there isn’t a God.

It absolutely can not be considered a religion, because it is the absence of one.

That’s like calling baldness a hair style

I’m bald. I have to shave my head to achieve the look, shave my hair into a style if you like. Even if that style is the absence of hair.

Any survey of people’s religions will have a category for people to answer “no belief/atheism”. OP seems interested in what people believe and what led them to have that belief. I don’t think answering with Atheism is going against that.

This one does not have a category for not being religious. It only asks what religion people belive in.

I’m totally down for the atheist response, although it technically isn’t a religion in itself as much a position on whether you believe in a deity or not. A N/A response is totally cool in my book and I actually appreciate it. But def would prefer if people would describe what led them to it in more depth

I’m an atheist. I find all the religious arguments deeply nonsensical.

Strong atheist. Not only I believe there are no Gods, I think religions are bad for humanity and society as a whole.

Was Secular Humanist atheist 1998-2013 until converting to moderate Sunni Hanafi Islam to date law abiding london pakistanis. I quit alcohol 2006 and was straight edge before so very against intoxication. racist parents repeatedly tried to force me into according to northwell south oaks “incest” arranged marriages with uneducated feminists I have nothing in common with as an engineer.

How did you cope with converting to be with someone? Recently I met someone with whom my values were profoundly different (I’m of an Atheistic religion and she was a fundamentalist Christian). This ultimately played a big part in why it didn’t work in addition to other stuff, but I tried to distance myself with my religion to appease her (this also bothered her because she wanted me to change, but felt bad about wanting that).

It didn’t feel right though and I failed to truly distance myself from it. My religion was not arbitrarily aquired, and was thus hard to disregard emotionally and cognitively

Boycott bisexualphobic anti-abortion “fundamentalist Christian” people and states such as tennessee since 2006 because they say anyone who disagrees should be jailed by central nassau guidance, etc. and will go to “hell.” Current oklahoma lawsuit government money being spent on their school.

It’s easy to convert when you already believe at least one Quran chapter at age 18 due to frauds pursuing you with evil illegal motives. extremists such as the most conservative zionists like my late grandfather said you must worship 100% of the religion and not change anything for thousands of years. As corrupt connecticut said 10 years ago, “Syncretism” combines multiple faiths.

I don’t ask women to pray or go to Mosque and reject when they try to convert me including to other sects. There are 4 billion females and you shouldn’t deny reality to appease a zealot who will always be incompatible.
