Well people tend to mislabel the terms like youre doing.
Athiest means no god. Like how polythiest means many gods.
Athiest doesnt necessarily mean no religion. Does polythiest mean many religions?

]Ok so according to your rhetoric, I'm considered an Atheist, even though I adhere to a 'religious' belief system...
I think that back fired on you... So 'Atheists' just got lumped in with Buddhists by your decree which means they are now automatically the second largest 'belief' group in the world.
Good going...
Not really. I think religion is pretty much self-identification, and I thought you identified yourself as an atheist. You tried the faux indignation card when I called you one, then tried to demonstrate how awesomely smart you were by splitting the same hairs you were bitching at everyone else about on the first page.
I don't think this is quite the victory for you that you believe it is. Like I suggested earlier, you're arguing to Paul's level of semantics.
Think about that for awhile.

Right - now class, lets go back over to the chart...
Atheists - third largest
if you include Buddhists, second largest.

When, in this thread? I was just posting up reference facts to refute the claim that Atheist were some minority. Posting facts doesn't automatically identify me or associate me with the facts do they?
According to my chart and my own personal identification, I 'classify' or 'label' myself as a Buddhist - not an atheist and was excluding myself from the facts and point.

That's because
A) I'm not an Atheist, I didn't claim to be one
B) Whether or not I am an Atheist is completely a non-issue in regards to this thread
C) You are a effing moron...

If your identification as an atheist or Buddhist doesn't matter to this thread, why make such a big deal out of it and try to make a gotcha out of it in the first place? Jeebus, you've gone from arguing like Paul to arguing like Baym. Nobody was really arguing that Buddhists don't count as atheists, anyhow (at least some Buddhists). The problem with your charts is that they lump nonreligious theists in with atheists.

The Athiest cult is an illogical group. They exist purely on outrage of religion.
