When I visited Seattle last month, there was a fair going on. Seattle Atheists had a booth up and I was kinda dumbfounded. I mean.. They had a newsletter and brochures. I just didn't get it. What are they advertising? The fact they don't believe in anything.. It just sounded dumb.
Their motto was: "SEATTLE ATHEISTS: A NON-PROPHET ORGANIZATION". It was odd. Wouldn't atheists not want to parade around like that?

The way I see it, until the world has no religion (which I think is never), then atheism might as well be a religion, too. It's the religion of believing in the greatness of mankind by itself, without any heavenly help or non-help.
