Atheism is not a religion. It's simply a self-referential word people use to identify their belief, and means:
1. the doctrine or belief that there is no God.
2. disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.

Atheism is not a religion per say, it's more of a belief that there is no god/creator. And being an atheist is definitely not politically correct. Atheism is looked upon as being the equivalent of satanism or something...people look at you like you are the anti-christ incarnate. There is nothing politically correct about being an atheist.

No. Atheism simply means lack of belief in gods.
It's not in any way a religion and it's by no means necessary to be politically correct.

First, atheism is not a religion. It's a stance that denies the existence of supernatural beings. Second, I don't know anyone who identifies himself as an atheist because it is "politically correct" or conveys anything like a favored status. People are atheists because they don't believe gods exist.

no the definition of a person that does not believe in god is "atheist" there is no political correctness about it. its just a word that was made to describe people who dont believe in god. and by the way its not a religion either, because for it to be a religion, you have to aknowledge the existance of god.

Well, since many other non-Christian religions outnumber Atheism, I'd have to say "no".

i would say agnosticism would be. atheism would be denying any possiblity of the existance of any sort of deity, and that doesn't sound very PC to me.

no atheists have don't believe in a god, and are in fact indifferent. Contrary to popular belief the opposite of atheist is NOT believer or christian it is thiest, or someone who believes in a god, or any god.
