Atheism IS a religion

My argument, is that atheism is a religion, based on the fact that religion is founded on beliefs and morals, and atheists do believe in no god. -No name calling or insults -No cursing, let's be mature here. -A big deal should not be made out of minor spelling/grammar mistakes...

Religion is given too much respect

dragos240
Wallstreetatheist

I am arguing that religion is given more respect than it deserves. It is considered rude to inquire their reasoning when it comes to their religion, however, it is not rude when inquiring about someone's political views. Both of these topics are based on belief and opinion, yet it is taboo to inquire about the reasoning behind one's religious beliefs. As the instigator, I must argue that religion is given too much respect in today's society. I await an opponent....

Ron Paul does not have the most socially beneficial domestic policies in the 2012 presidential race.

Wallstreetatheist

My opponent and I tried to do this debate previously but my opponent got unlucky with the timer and had to forfeit a round, so we'll do it again! Note that I don't actually care about American politics a lot so this should be an education for me!
