Organization Does Not Equal Religion
Once again a particular Christian has tried to equate organized atheism with religion in an attempt to dirty atheism by lowering it to the level of religion. We must be doing something right when religion practically admits to being dirty. In this case it is liberal radio host, Thom Hartmann.
I don’t think Rick Wingrove did a good job in this interview but I don’t think he was prepared for this type of attack from the left. He might have expected a friendly experience instead of loaded questions like, “When did you get saved through the religion of atheism.”
He probably should have spent a lot of his time rejecting Hartmann’s attacks much more. Saying that atheism is a religion because we are organized is like saying that political parties and special interest groups are religions too. The NAACP is a non-profit group does that make it a religion?
