fokker, i think you misread my last post, which is probably mostly my fault. if satanists cant beleive in a literal devil, then every religion where there is a beleif in a literal devil wouldnt be able to become satanist along with that religion. 

for example, many christian religions beleive in a literal devil; if satanists dont beleive in a literal devil, a satanist couldnt be that christian religion. but if the religion of satanism doesnt beleive in a literal devil, but the lack of a devil isnt a dogma that satanists must beleive, then the religions would be compatible.

"Yes. Forms. You've just proven yourself wrong.
They come from the same views, and strife for different goals overall. Sure there might be a few exceptions, but it's in now way the same."

i absolutely have not proven myself wrong. the goal of Communism is Anarchy; its a specific form of anarchy; but its anarchy none the less.

fokker, i think you mean satanism doesnt beleive in a literal Devil; if satanists dont beleive in one, then many religions couldnt also be satanist because of their beleif in a literal devil.

"Avogadro, calm down and stop thinking we're all stupid because we disagree."

i dont think people are stupid because they disagree i think they're stupid because i've clarified how religion and religious are not indentical multiple times and still people dont understand such a basic concept.

im not confused at all, even though, admitedly, my understanding of satanism and its dogma is limited and because of that i cant be certain with which religions it conflicts with.

"Hahahaha. Not quite. Equality != do whatever you bloody well want. Especially not in my views wink"

anarchy != do whatever you bloody well want. there are forms of anarchy that have equality, these forms are the goal of communism.

"Non-religious is agnosticism. Saying I dont know. Atheist believe that there is no god. Thats the definition of the word atheist. Its as much a religion (a set of beliefs) as any other religion in the world. They have faith in what they see and touch is real and that there is indeed no god. They got no proof of that so its "only" faith/belief. Nothing more. That makes atheist religious."

ok, im starting to loose my patience. Religious is a [] adjective, learn [] simple english if you want to debate on an english speaking forum. religion does not equal religious. there isnt a certain degree of religion; something is either a religion or it isnt; people however can allow their religion to consume different amounts of their life; religious describes people, not religions. atheists have one basic common beleif that is there is no God, it demands nothing from its followers; so its followers dont base anything off the lessons of their religion, because there are no lessons, so they arent religious, same thing with agnostic people or people claiming to be a part of no religions, all these people combined make up the group of religion, non-religious. its not [] complex.

benig a good atheist? maybe they focus on being "good" ppl/humans? or smt else?
mebbe they go on about common sense?
mebbe it differs from person to person?

what you are saying is oftend interpreted as atheists being a-moral, and worse..

yes, atheists can strive to be good humans, but atheism doesnt define what being a good human is.

non-religious is the only term i know of that describes that group of religions that atheism belongs to. its called non-religious because the religions in it arent religious in that they dont have moral codes defined by the religion that they strive to live by. 

i am not saying to be religious you have to believe in a God. My understanding of Buddhism is that they dont beleive in a God, but that they strive for inner peace. So they have moral codes to help people obtain inner peace. Busshists can be religious.

there is no moral codes of atheism, there is no ultimate goal of atheism; people cant devote their lives to being a good atheist because there is no goal of atheism just like agnostics, people that dont believe in any God, or other non-religious religions.

"There you go. Note the *often* which doesn't exclude other ways of believing and being religious. So suffice to say atheism belongs under the term religion as much as any other."

i agree with that and never claimed otherwise. I am simply saying that Athiesm can be and often is lumped into a group of religions just like a catholics or baptists can be lumped into Christianity.

"Heh, you make no sense to me with that statement. Besides, there are many devout atheists, agnostics, etc. (unfortunately)"

how are you a religious atheist? you go to church every day? no; you follow certain principles? no; any athiest is just as religious as the next, the only thing athiests are, are people who do not beleive in God; they have no religious goal. same can be said with agnostics, secular humanist, and others. when someone said the top 3 religions are gone; athiesm is only the 3rd largest if you include agnostics, secular humanists, and people claiming to be of no religion; the group isnt called athiesm, its called non-religious.

"There was no option for non-religious people tongue One might even claim there is no such thing as actually being without religion."

not being religious does not mean not being part of a religion. its means a religion with no obligation.  athiesm, agnostic, secular humanist... ect.

"
The best warriors of all time were gay(spartans)

So It's actually a compliment to the USA navy and USMC.
But yr arrrmy saks."

well, the common thought of sexual orientation is that its not something that is controled, but you are born gay or straight; so calling Spartans gay isnt accurate; alot of them most likely werent gay, but were in an environment where they were encouraged to act gay.
