Your right, atheism is an alternitive to religion, however that doesnt make it a religion. It is a belief, but the word belief doesnt have to literally translate to "religion". So it does make sense for an atheist to claim they hate all religions, because their belief is not a religion.
I never said atheism was a religion, I just said that because not everybody has religion an atheist can't just claim to hate all religions without being discriminatory unless they hate themselves, too. If that makes any sense.
Im sorry but it still doesnt make sense, or at least to me. Lets leave it that way though because I dont think we will understand eachother here

Doesn't anybody read carefully anymore!
That's basically what I just said. I said that there is no way to say you hate all religions without being discriminatory unless you hate atheism, too. It doesn't matter that atheism isn't a religion. I'm just saying that if you only hate certain people and don't hate everybody then you are discriminating. If that isn't clear I give up.

what exactly is the purpose of being a wiccan? i think alot of people including myself are afraid of it because we immeadiatly think of witches and people putting curses on others.. maybe someone could explain what being a wiccan is all about? thanks.
there's no such thing as a hex
and if a witch says there is
then he or she isn't a witch
all that is bull sh**
That would be like asking if there are some of the sex rituals seen in the Davinci Code, although that wouldn't be that bad
