Aren't Christians, Muslims and Jews just a little bit atheist when compared to H
The definition of "atheist" is: a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods.
Hindus have a ton of Gods. Christians, Muslims and Jews believe that there can be only one (discarding all the rest). They lack belief in the existence of many Gods. Therefore, they are atheists.
The definition of "religion" is: a particular system of faith and worship.
Since it is impossible to prove a negative, atheists cannot disprove the existence of God. Therefore, their belief system is based on faith and they are thus a little bit religious.
Christians, Muslims, Jews and atheists should declare solidarity, calm their tits, and stop with the religious debates.
It is true Muslims are not Atheist ! But the Progressive Left views "The Religion Of Peace" as a peaceful religion even though a Muslim shot up a Gay Bar in Orlando ! Shall we forget Fort Hood , Boston and San Bernadino ? What is peaceful about a religion that wants to kill all they view as the Infidel ?
I understand the struggles and the loss of lives in the Orlando shooting however, are you blaming a religion consisting of a billion lives based on the actions of a few? Islam is a peaceful religion and it doesn't support these treacherous events, it is the people who rebel against it. I can say that every person claiming to be "Muslim" by having to bomb people doesn't have a shrewd of knowledge about Islam. In our holy Quran a verse which says "For you is your religion, and for me is my religion." You have your own and I do not interfere with that, and I have my own and you do not interfere with that. I personally have nothing against people with different religion for I am a Muslim myself. Those group of people such as KKK do not represent Christianity as well as ISIS does not represent Islam. Do not blame us all for the wrongs of a few.
However, when thousands of refugees' bodies are surfacing on top of the sea, no one said a word. This world is at chaos and we need to unite against it and do something, and not procrastinate about it.
I can assure you that who ever was responsible for the attacks clearly doesn't fear God nor Hell. I am against it and am deeply sorry for the losses. Muslims are not atheist for we believe in God "Allah". There are so many shooting involving people of different races and beliefs. If, god forbid, a christian man or any other religion was held responsible for a mass shooting, would you harass their religion and blame their religion as well? Or will you say he's mentally disrupted and blame his mentality instead of his religion?
I am not denying the fact. I am as scared from them as you are but, if a christian white man, and I am not being racist, committed the crime, you won't be out there blaming Christianity. You won't say that Christians are a threat to us. Do not define them and relate their mistakes to their religion. All religions demand for peace and if a person opposes that, they are opposing their religion as well. I see you as a brother/sister despite your religion. Do not focus on a dead flower between a field of roses.
Not true. There are scores of passages in the Koran about smiting the Infidel and in the countries that are Islamically dominated, other religions do not fare well. Maybe you should qualify your comment by saying Islam is a peaceful religion as long as you're a Muslim, but even then, Muslims don't get along with each other either. Sunni and Shia, for example.
Here are few passages of the "peaceful" "religion":
Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.
Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah').
Since it is impossible to prove a negative, atheists cannot prove that there is no God. Therefore, their belief system is based on faith and they are thus a little bit religious.
This description doesn't match the definition provided for atheists. The definition said that atheists don't believe in God, not that atheists believe there is no God.
Hindus reject all Greek gods. They reject all Norse gods. They reject all Egyptian gods. Etc. They are pretty much just as atheistic as everyone else.

Hindus don't reject any Gods. We believe that everyone has their own way of achieving eternal bliss and they may believe in different forms of Gods which do different things and have different qualities.
Hold on here Progressive so what you are saying Muslims are Hindu's ? Well let me ask you Progressive do you have the balls to take your words to a Muslim Nation ?
NO they would kill me. Trust me, I'm just as wary of Muslims as you are. I just think that not every Muslim is a terrorist, and most can be good people.
No Actually we have 3 main entities which we consider gods, Those being Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Rest are categorized as "Devtas" and have there roles to play. Vishnu creates, Brahma manages and Mahesh(Shiv) destroys. These three are the most supreme and are absolute powerfull entities in Hindu religion. Rest are devtas that were created by these entities to take care of different thing in the world.
Your argument is comparable to saying men who are only attracted to thin beautiful women are a little bit gay when compared to men who are attracted to women of every shape and size. Yes, there's the tiniest grain of truth to it on the sliding scale of what they include or don't include, but the fact remains they're still attracted to females instead of males, which means by definition they're not gay. Likewise, monotheists still believe in the existence of a god as opposed to not believing in any gods, which technically makes then not atheists.
Please get your facts straight before posting. Atheism is the belief that there are no deities in existence. However, Monotheism is the belief in theology that only one deity exists. This includes monotheistic religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Baha'i Faith, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, Eckankar and some forms of Hinduism.
Oh my God!!! Don't you have a wife and kid to hangout with? Where you waiting 22 hours for me to answer? Do you get instant emails about responses to you CD posts?
Dude, it takes you 2 minutes to respond?!?! And you are claiming that it is I who doesn't have a life? You just sit there waiting for someone to post anything so you can respond!
It doesn't count as getting the last word in if you are just going to be boring. Come on. Bearded lady was a good line, but you are pretty much just repeating yourself.

That wouldn't accurately define atheism. What is a higher power? That is way too vague. If you believe nature is more powerful than a single species. Does that mean you aren't an atheist?
A Christian/Muslim/Jew/Hindu is to other gods as an atheist is to all gods, but this does not make them atheists towards those gods. Inconsistent in their faith based disposition, sure. But not atheist.
Atheists may actively disbelieve or may simply lack belief, and if the case is the latter then they are not taking the matter on faith. Nor does taking something on faith make it religious, since faith is not exclusively religious.
