I don't worry about any such connotation because it's laughable. But as I already said - whether I worry or not doesn't change the definition... which was my whole point when it came to the definition of 'religious'.

Evie stated that members of a religion shouldn't be worried about the connotations of the word 'religious' ...so I said conversely, he shouldn't worry about the connotation of atheism that it's a religion bother atheists... and you all nicely chip in to prove the point!
You have again failed to give any rationale as to why atheism is a religion.
We do not believe in a god or gods this is not a faith position.
I just dont believe in things without evidence.
How is that in way shape or form religious?

If atheism is a religion then it must also follow that a lack of belief in those old favourites such as the tooth fairy, Father Christmas and leprechauns is also a religion.
Atheism is simply the lack of belief in a god or gods, nothing else!

If atheism is a religion, then bald is a hair color and not collecting stamps is considered a hobby.
