What genre is the Bible?

It's got sci-fi, fantasy, horror, mystery, comedy, and above all else just plain fiction in general.

He's religious, and religious people think that everything is religion by definition.

OK so if atheism is not a religious belief then what is it?

A rejection of conventional theological belief in favour of the belief that there are no gods is still a religious belief, just because there is no regular worship or praying doesn't mean that it's not.

Not even all kinds of belief are religious. Now, atheism is not believing in that there are no gods, but, rather, not believing in  anything at all until it is scientifically proven or disproven.

Religious belief is by definition illogical, and if you don't know that, then you're a one shitty christian, because it's not once openly stated in the Bible. Atheists just choose to not believe anything nobody's ever seen just because somebody tels them to.

But now, what the fuck, I'm arguing with a motherfucking religious person, WTF am I even thinking?..

You're mixing it up with scientific skepticism or something. Atheism is non-believing in any diety. Most atheists probably base their beliefs on what has been scientifically proven (because the alternative is insane), but it's technically not required to fit the definition.

I'd not trust your source of information on that again if I were you, try reading the book of Job, the fact that religion and life is illogical and would take someone or something of infinite intelligence to under stand is the whole point of that story.

Also, to my the best of knowledge I have never fucked my mother and I am agnostic.

Arguing about religion and fucking your own mother are generally the same kind of offence, you evildoer.

There are things science finds hard or perhaps impossible to explain, like the "first cause" of the universe you mention, but inventing a God answers NONE of these difficult questions. Adding God into the mix only invokes the question "how did God break all of science's laws and come into being?" and we are back at the original problem.

At the end we have a double combo of fail for the God hypothesis:
1. no proof he exists
2. no reason he needs to exist

Fail. "Atheism" comes from "theos", meaning god, and the prefix "a-", meaning "no", "without" or "none".
It is the belief that there are no gods. And this belief is just as scientifically unfounded as the belief that there is a god.
If you want your beliefs to be scientifically valid so bad, go with apatheism or agnosticism.

>>just because there is no regular worship or praying doesn't mean that it's not.

Actually those are exactly the things that make something a religious belief rather than a belief.

Believing 2 + 2 = 4 is not religion.
Believing we landed on the moon is not religion.
Believing in the supernatural is not religion.
Praying and worshipping to a supernatural being IS a religion. (Unless nobody else worships your God, in which case you will be labelled insane.)
Since atheists don't do the latter, atheism is not a religion.

That's not what atheists believe in practice. 99% of atheists believe "a God almost certainly doesn't exist" not that "there is certainly no God". They put the existence of God in the same category as believing we are in the Matrix, or that there is a China teapot orbiting the earth, too small for any telescope on earth to see (Bertrand Russel's famous example).

I'm sure you don't believe we are in the Matrix, but would you call yourself "agnostic" about it? It would be silly to do so, which is why atheists don't call themselves agnostics. Agnostics are people who think there is a decent chance God exists, and a decent chance he doesn't.

Atheism isn't "believing there is no God", you assclown, it is "not believing in a God" because there is no proof or reason behind actual existence of such a pointless being. Origins of religions are pretty simple and for a man of any kind of intelligence there really is no need to believe there is some high-up father or cosmic monster out there just because a weird fuck in silly clothes and a bunch of insane women say so; rather, on the contrary: it's better not to believe ANYTHING these kind of people say.

"Religion easily—has the best bullshit story of all time. Think about it. Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man...living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money."

And that's why religion should be abolished. Stalin was somewhat successfully at it, and now Russia has the most atheists.

Stalin was a tremendous faggot, and communism was made really religious-like in his time, him being the prophet, Marx the messiah and Lenin the Jesus. Nothing good about it, nothing, really.
