Athiesm is not a religion - atheists are allowed to believe in anything, except the existence of God.
They can believe in evolution and science, or not. They can believe in spirituality or not.
Atheists have widely varying views on everything from creation to science to the supernatural.
Stop puitting us in a little box where everyone has to believe the same thing!

No idea, I've explained this several times, atheists are of one mind in one thing only, that god does not exist.

It is easy to write off their assumptions and statements as the result of ignorance and intellectual laziness. However, these explanations are inaccurate and too polite.
I just saw an answer to another question that shows why this is the case.
The answer contained a typical simple definition of religion, (“Religion = a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe”), and a dictionary.com citation. OK so far, but this was presented as proof (sufficient and complete proof), that atheism is a religion.
Clearly, ‘ignorance’ alone does not capture the absolutely mind boggling stupidity of this person; nor does ‘intellectually lazy’ do justice to their pathological dim-wittedness.
‘Lazy’ implies passive or inactive, and you cannot become this stupid without putting in the time and effort to make certain that your brain is never exposed to any knowledge.
It is stupid to incorrectly define a word. It is retarded to go to an online dictionary and look up the definition of a word different from the one you are trying to define.

For the same reason you athiest ask questions aimed at us Christians and expect a unified answer. so why do you do that? since i am not someone who does what you are asking about i do not know the answer.

You mean I don't speak for every agnostic Jew?
We're all equally damned to hell to them. They believe their God doesn't distinguish, so why should they.
