that probably just means you worship science or humanity.

Worshiping as less intangible thing is still worship.

id pick STAL if you made a valid poll.

im not religious and i will never be dumb enough to label myself under a specific religion. but i feel recent trips have made me more aware of the fact that we are all a part of something much larger than we can even imagine.

id say.... a spiritual athiest is how i view myself. though spiritual doesnt even really describe my views either.

I would disagree. Worship is a strong word. I *believe in it more because it has proof to back it up. Worship is more faith guided (no evidence).

You have faith what we percieve to be proof is completely understood or that science will improve enough to completely understand everything.

You put your trust, hope, and support in the endevours of humanity.

This is simply a different form of worship.

Uh I don't know about him but that's not what being an atheist means to me, it just means you don't believe in god.

It doesn't mean you believe in anything else or worship anything else.

That said I take the agnostic/pantheist route :awesome:

Why does anyone feel the need to put a label on their personal thoughts.

what is a "god"? something that is worship? what is worship? faith in something, love and devotion to it, and a belief that it will ultimately raise humanity to a higher level. Haven't you seen all the recent posts about science making people immortal and shit. People are making science a god by performing the act of worship towards it. That is not atheism. That substituting a new god for an old one.

This is in fact luciferianism, a short step away from outright satanism.

because it is hard to express ideas in a conversation without a common set of terminology.

What terminology does a person gain by saying one is an atheist?

You're making the assumption all atheists are staunch believers of science... Atheism denotes nothing of the sort :smirk:

How does not accepting the existence of a divine being end with worship? Admittedly there are some gnostic atheists who view science as almost infallible, certainly overestimating our knowledge. But I don't think those are the majority, and in my experience a lot of those people are converts seem to need that absolute. I see where you're coming from but that's not inherent to humans, that's cultural. 

I'm an agnostic atheist, certainly an "infidel" as OP puts it

I'm an atheist. And a materialist reductionist at that.

I don't worship science as this one dolt is claiming, but I definitely think it has a better chance of bestowing immortality to humans than any form of religion ever has, or will.

I get so tired of hearing "well you're a believer in science, man" as if it equates in any level to faith in an omnipotent super being. Polar opposites.

The human brain sometimes needs defensive strategy to cope with the nature of reality. So it creates or simply accepts a virtual compensatory mechanism to endure the harshness of being alive.

Political leaders realized this early on and took advantage. The word religion comes from the Latin word Religuli which means control. Essentially they exploited this compensatory mechanism to control and exploit the masses for personal gain.
