I think that\\\'s an interesting tidbit, but they are still considered different religions (in that they deal with continuation of the consciousness after death), while Atheism is not. I\\\'ll bring up a quote from AronRa\\\'s excellent \\\"[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzmbnxtnMB4 Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism]]\\\" series:
--> \\\"A religion is not just any ol’ thing you happen to believe, and its not just anything you believe strongly either. Every belief-system which is commonly accepted as a religion by both its adherents and its critics -is a doctrine of ritual traditions, ceremonies, mythology, and the associated dogma of faith-based belief systems which all include the idea that some element of ‘self’ (be it a soul or portion of consciousness, or memories, etc.) may, in some sense, continue beyond the death of the physical being. This applies to every religion and only to religion, but doesn’t apply to evolution or atheists either, unless they happen to be Druids or Shaman or one of those other religions which don’t happen to include gods.
--> \\\"Some Buddhists believe in a god and some don’t. Some traditional Chinese beliefs are the same way. Not all religions have creative deities, but every religion must propose something paranormal, beyond tangible existence which they believe we’ll experience after we die. You can’t posit something like that without faith, and if you don’t have faith, you can’t have religion.
--> \\\"And when creationists complain about atheists, they’re not talking about Buddhists or Shaman. They’re referring to material empirical rationalists, people they know don’t have any faith in anything supernatural at all –which only makes their lie [that evolution is the religion of Atheism] that much more brazen.\\\"
And that\\\'s what this article primarily deals with.
I\\\'ll also say this: If it is a part of this universe, it is by that definition a natural phenomenon and subject to scientific inquiry. God or gods presumably interact with this universe (based on what information is given about them) and thus, are part of it and thus natural.
As far as Atheism is concerned there \\\'\\\'are no metaphysics to deal with\\\'\\\'. It is interacts meaningfully at all with this universe it is subject to study.
Further, Atheism\\\'s system of belief\\\'s is as set as Theism\\\'s set of beliefs. It has one or two defining traits and that\\\'s it. Many different philosophies have been taken up by Atheists to guide how they deal with life--Secular Humanist, Absurdist, etc. And even getting a group of atheists to agree is akin to herding cats. They tend to be ones to make their own decisions about everything and they don\\\'t always agree.
