I don't believe in any supernatural power, what can I call myself? Atheist or irreligious?
Is there any religious atheist? is there any athestic religion like eastern ones for example taoism?
I think most of us who call ourself atheist ,are irreligious in fact.
Atheism defenition sounds to be about denying "personal gods" only not all sort of supernatural powers.
what's your idea?

Most Buddhists consider themselves atheist (or at least agnostic). We tend to be more concerned with helping others, practicing loving kindness and attaining enlightenment rather than spending our time contemplating the existence of a supernatural deity.

Well. Considering Gods fall into -supernatural- i guess I'm still an atheist by default. Savvy?

Atheism is no belief in god or gods. Personal or otherwise. I don't think irreligious is a word. Maybe you are thinking of nonreligious.
Nope. I'm wrong irreligious is a word!

Atheists and antitheist. I think religion and belief in God is dangerous and needs to be shown the door.

If you don't believe in any god you are by definition an atheist.
