Jul 22 2011: Dude, come on. You're a Muslim. Don't you know how many Christian fundies out there believe you'll go to hell for this fact? You don't switch to Christianity for "safety". If you're concerned about hedging your bets, why don't you convert to Judaism? I think all the Abrahamic religions offer at least some concession to the Jews. Besides, religions are always raging about not worshiping other gods, but atheism gets a fairly mild admonition in comparison, so by your logic wouldn't atheism be the safest thing to go with? And what about Jainism and Wicca and Hinduism and the Buddhist religions and Scientology and Roman mythology and Mormonism and Shinto? If you think your religion is true, then that's great for you, and you should base your arguments on why you think so. But arguing that a person should believe because not believing is "risky" is not really a good argument.

Why he made ? I don't know
What he want from you? No thing
how should we spend our time in this word ? as I wish
this a complete religion
"No one can live a single moment without a religion "
Abdel, I would be cautious calling atheism a religion. Religiosity requires belief in the existence of a supernatural force or entity. Most atheists are naturalists, and reject supernaturalism as non-existent and from a logical approach non-sensical. As many atheists have consciously rejected the religions they were raised with, the definition of atheism as a religion could be seen by some as not only incorrect, but even offensive. Certainly, most philosophies within atheism require a certain minimal degree of belief within the bounds of epistemology (eg. the continuity of the laws of nature) but as no supernatural elements are involved, these belief systems are not technically religions.
