"I think assuming we don't know what we are talking about is your
first mistake here"
Itīs true, I apologice about that.
"and then equating atheism as a religion or anything to do
with spirituality"
I didnīt say atheism is a religion. I said that is one of the multiple
ways of expierencing spirituality. I didnīt even daid it was a bad
one. Religion is a cosmology related to an institution that sustains
it as the only valid one. I love cosmologies, I find them very
interesting, but I donīt like the institution. A cosmology is a
description of the world, and atheism (althou there are diferent tipes
of atheism) has itīs own cosmology, and as I think that acceptance of
any cosmology creates the posibilities of the subjectīs perception,
well, atheism is a way of expierencing the world that negates the
existence of gods, and thou, canīt have that type of expierence. But
itīs a choice, a choice that I like better than the unconscient
(unconscient because is a choice that doesnīt know itīs a choice)
acceptance of a religion like chistianity.
Again, sorry if my english is not good enouph.
