      Atheists aren’t claiming anything to be true. Many religions do however make claims about science and history that are most definitely wrong.

      Atheists simply believe there is no strong evidence for all of the religions people tried to indoctrinate them into.

      But let’s say for sake of argument that we went with your straw-man: I’d love to hear any strong evidence that otherwise disproves your caricature of atheism. I’ll wait.

        And they represent a tiny, tiny minority of the atheist community, so not sure what braindead point you’re trying to make.

                  This is not the definition of religion I’d agree atheism references. Especially when one has secular in its name. This is just cultural practices. But if they believe in some deity they arent atheists.

                    Well you might think that but in terms of religious studies and the legal system they disagree. Given that words are defined by popular usage I plan to go with that instead of yours.
