Political ideologies are not religions.

Any belief and thus worship can be a religion. Especially once there are millions of adherents which there are and much more than that.

Broadly speaking, but not entirely accurate.

religion /rɪˈlɪdʒ(ə)n/ noun the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

Religion is particular, specific dogmatic belief in a deity. By your definition, cults, superstition and generalised spirituality and faith are religious. These do not fit the definition. Nor does strong devotion to a political movement.

I'm using the term accurately. You're interpreting the definition inaccurately.

Religion: the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

Last part:

, especially a personal God or gods.

That part is not to the exclusion of every religion which isn't based on god(s). The word "especially" refers to the fact that most mainstream religions center around the concept of god and it is making note of that.

By your definition, cults, superstition and generalised spirituality and faith are religious. These do not fit the definition. Nor does strong devotion to a political movement.

False. This does fit the definition of a religion. Most atheists I see are adherents to globalist scum ideology running on faith. It is one of the biggest religions. That it isn't called a religion by those deluded faithfuls is irrelevant. I can judge them for what they are and how they act and function. They are stronger zealots than most self-described mainstream religious people.

Turn off the TV every so often, if the only atheists you see are leftist scum then you are being blinded by a minority of degenerates. It would be an unfair assessment to refer to Catholics as being 'mostly choirboy molesters' based on the prevalence of the priests in the news. As an atheist, I find your assessment almost comical, but again, Americanisms. Atheism in America is almost taboo at present and is often target of propaganda as being degenerates, supported by the few actual scum being broadcast, and those in the news give the average person a bad name. Europe has a far wider demographic of atheists going back several decades...or centuries, probably older than the US itself, it has not been taboo here for some time. Most people I meet are atheist here, making the average normal person an atheist, many of which with decent family values.

You do realise that this:

a superhuman controlling power

Means the same thing as this:

especially a personal God or gods.

Worship of a superhuman controlling power aka a god. Twisting definition to suit your whim is a stretch.

The truth hurts. My assessment is truth.

Most people I meet are atheist here, making the average normal person an atheist.

Yes, and most of them are fucking retards.

Atheists comprise the highest religion-based demographic percentage of "vaccinated" and consumers of every physical and mental poison globalists stamp as the new cool or fake "green" thing.

I should know. I'm somewhat in the fringe 1% camp. I watch the other 99%. Perhaps it's more like 5% vs. 95% but that's being generous. I'd rather see the world become a hardcore Catholic theocracy than have those "atheists" remain voters or in control. They are the biggest retards. They replace vacuums of one type of faith with even stronger faith in the worst forms of humanity bankers can cultivate.

Sounds like you hang around with retards, not all of us follow the same path, and judging by your self-assessment, you fit right in.

[–]Yin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

I don't hang around those freaks. I observe them. Preferably from as far away as possible.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

This is how I feel about humans in general...

[–]Yin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Same.

Though my highest priority delineation right now is A. vax poisoned vs. B. pure.

Then among the vax poisoned it's: A. still pushing globalist poison mandates on everyone like a dummy vs. B. not / regret / waking up.

I'm more likely to want to be around anyone of any persuasion who's in either of the camp Bs.

No, it doesn't.

Superhuman absolutely does not specifically mean god(s). It means high/great/above/exceptional/powerful (super) as pertaining to humans. This can also enter the territory of superhuman controlling concepts and conglomerations, i.e. powers, which simply amount to the ideas and organizations propagated by one or more humans.

You're the one twisting definitions narrowly because you apparently want to defend a contingent of retards who are religious cult devotees who claim they aren't.

Is English your first language?
