Umm... You're gravely mistaken. Atheism is NOT a religion. It is simply the lack of belief in religious claims and gods. Read a dictionary before making such ridiculous assertions. It is contradictory to claim that non-religious people are religious.

Funny thing is you are replacing one belief system with another. I don't call that progress.

Ummmm.....no. You completely missed the point of that post didn't you?
How can someone who DOESN'T BELIEVE be 'replacing one belief system with another'? Hmmm? Absence of belief generally signifies nothing more than just that - ABSENCE OF BELIEF.

I am an athiest. I do not believe in deities. Should proof come, I am willing to revisit this and make changes accordingly, because for me, atheism is not a religion. My position by default cannot be permanent considering I view science as the deciding factor of what is and isnt. Science is always changing, and therefore so is my outlook.

Ok, I try this as gently as I can. An Atheist has a belief system. She decided not to believe in any theist claims. Once there is proof that there is no deity your statement will make sense.

There is no evidence and there never will be. Gods are impossible concepts and their "existence" is shrinking every year as new discoveries are made in the fields of science. Like I said, my position is permanent.

You can type as gently or as angrily as you want - it makes absolutely no difference to the fact that your above post makes no sense whatsoever.
Decided not to believe? Therefore DOES NOT BELIEVE correct? Therefore, one who does not believe cannot be said to have a belief system ya?
Look, I know this is a lot for you to take in and comprehend, it must be life-changing for you to realise that people who do not have a belief are therefore without a belief system. Take some time and sit down to contemplate this if you need to.
