=) it's a way of life. and is based on human consciousness, and atheists, doesn't persuade people to share their unbelief.. well, if you can collectively, derive the thought that religion, is the basis of order in this world, that is because it flourished for centuries.. you know, i bet the religions of your parents, are your religions as well.. "if you are born in indonesia, then you will be a muslim.. from tibet, you might be a buddhist.., in japan a taoist.. in israel, a jew.." you see, we are commanded to accept the religion of our parents.. as if we have no choice during birth.. atheism offers personal freedom.. from standards not created nor set by your conviction.. you are obliged to follow. atheism, can never be compared to religion. they really are not on the same page my friends..
