| Message | "Atheism can be either the rejection of theism, or the position that deities do not exist. In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities." Aka not a religion. It's an ideology and you should stop trying to force Atheism as a national religion. Give people freedom of religion (or ideology) instead. |
