With all due respect, this is bull.

Atheism is a lack of belief, first and foremost. Religion is a set of beliefs. Atheists do not believe. It cannot be a religion.

"I believe there is no God" is NOT the same as "I do not believe there is a God". The latter is what atheism is. Not a religion.

Dear You,
You can make it through this. The clouds will not last forever.
