      This week in Atheists, Humanists, and Agnostics....

 Atheism is not a religion.

It has no creed, it has no dogma, it has no overarching identity aside from a personal lack of belief in a deity.

Calling atheism a religion is not only incorrect and disrespectful, but reasserts an ideal of religious normality.

Should we have that ideal? Is it fine to frame non-religions in religious language?

Agree? Disagree? All are welcome! Come join the conversation on:

Thursday, April 18th @ 5:00 P.M. in Sarner 69!
