Atheism is Now a Religion?

Random Musings Header

I’ve been reading all of these stories about Atheists going through de-baptism ceremonies.  They blow them selves with hair dryers marked “Reason” to banish the baptismal waters out of their lives.  I’m  not making this up.  Some are even doing this as a part of a larger Atheist Mass-type meeting they have regularly, where they take an anti-communion.

And this isn’t just a pure mock-fest for some.  Some really get in to it.

So now atheism is an organized religion?  There are churches of Atheists now (they usually call themselves churches of “free-thought”).  Aren’t Atheists supposed to be against not only God but all organized religion?  This is all sounding pretty organized to me.  I can’t find it, but I did read last week about an increase in Atheist evangelists out there.

Not convinced that Atheism is now an organized religion?  Here is more proof: they are starting to fight and divide over the issue of de-baptism “Hey, remember when one of the benefits of not following a religion was being spared that religion’s rituals?” one atheist blogged.
