82. Then Atheism would be a religion.
A set of core beliefs that can enhance, or degrade, humanity.

Atheists have their beliefs, from their core, and they have as I have read wished to enhance humanity (by causing the myths to be replaced by a working reality), albeit enchance humanity, and, subsequently to possibly degrade it.

There are other definitions, and I still think Atheism should qualify as a religion.

That would place them as equals rather than superiors to other religions and subject to the Constitution. But, you might just be one of the nice people of the world anyway. In other words, the problem being discussed here is not with you. And, thanks for responding.
