I'm gonna have to side with Kerry on this one. I mean, who defines what "religion" really means? I'm guessing 99.9% of the population believes in a loose definition similar to what Kerry outlined, belief in a higher power, some sort of ritualistic behaviour and holy text, etc. An athiest simply doesn't adhere to these concepts......some "beliefs" yes and some "faith" in believing those concepts, sure.....but not the traditional confines of "religion".

Do you call a group of fanatical benz enthusiasts a religion? We all pretty much feel the same way about our cars. It's no different.

I suppose I see your point...but really, this has just devolved into hair-splitting semantics.
