Wait - so am I reading this wrong? Does this person question whether or not skeptics exist?
I'll have to agree. Sounds pretty skeptical. I might have to read it again, though I am beginning to get lightheaded.

Atheism, isn't a religion, it's a personal relationship with reality.

Atheism is a religion. It is a stance on one single belief, so cannot be a belief system, and furthermore its stance is to lack that belief.
Why are you people so stupid?

"so it is my intent to prove to you Christianity is not a religion"
Well, we all need goals, and sometimes if we achieve them, we didn't set the bar high enough. Good luck.

Atheism is not a religion. It is the very opposite of religion. It is disbelief.
Disbelief is no more a "belief system" than blindness is a vision system. This argument is like the claim that all people have a TV, but some people have a TV that is nonexistent.
Now, I'll go back to my comic book store where I dispense the insults rather than absorb them.

No matter how much you say Christianity is a religion, and atheism is, you're still wrong. Christianity is, and always will be, by definition, a religion. Likewise, atheism always will be the opposite of that.

Christianity is based on faith and there is not enough evidence to support all of its claims, therefore it must be a religion.
Atheism is the lack of belief in higher deities, closely associated with a belief only in ideas that are backed by evidence, therefore it cannot be a religion.
