First off, glad to see you guys back, I haven't been to this site in awhile, and thought I'd check it out today in some of my free time. While I agree that the debate of whether atheism is a religion won't be solved anytime soon, I want to post my views on the subject here. I think it really depends on what your definition of religion is. Most of the arguments and definitions I've read for it being a religion are that it's still a belief in something. I don't agree that religion is belief in something, ... lots morevwmads
like i've said on youtube whether you think so or not, atheism is a religion.Guin
Wow ! Thanks for giving me a sense of reminiscence... I havent thought about that show (He-man) since i was little kid. Never did see the ending though. If you do another show using He-man as a metaphor , use your old action figures as visual aids. (cuz i ... moresocalcutie82 [22]
Sorry I'm late seeing this but thanks for the video...we really enjoyed it and will save this as a perfect response for people who say that churches should lose their tax exempt status...this is the perfect response (and I don't even have to be there to argue with them...thank you electronic transmission!!). You are absolutely right...and what's interesting is that I can guarantee there are many churches like the one we belong to that even if you took away the tax exempt status trying to "hurt 'em where it counts" it would only fuel more donations and now the ... lots morepkw
Beautiful. Love your example of "Thinking Beyond Step 1". Awesome.Swip

You know, Ive been following the flame war on you-tube and some people just don't get the whole "athiesm is a religion" thing. They think they can just explain it away by saying "it's not a belief it's a LACK of belief, but that is not possible sinces nobody can know beyond a shodow of a doubt which "theory" is correct. If you say that the universe wasn't created by a god, then that creats a vaccum of belief and since nature abhorrs a vaccum some other belief about the nature of origins must fill the void created. Becuase negatives ... lots moreMeandering {207}
You are officially back! I had almost given up checking back here and I'm so glad I didn't. Great episode, well thought and excellently executed. Keep up the great work!Jennifer McKenzie
I absolutely love this. Timely and well reasoned. Camera Guy, get away from that fudge!!!!The Sasquatch
koolman2: The definitions you gave us were as follows. Religion: a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe. Atheism: the doctrine or belief that there is no God -or- disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings. You said we need to test Atheism against the definition of a religion. The Brothers did just that and came to the conclusion that Atheism is a religion. Here's a basic philosophical summary: P1: Religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature and and purpose of the universe P2: Atheism believes God does not exist C1: A lack ... lots morekoolman2
First let me say thank you for your kind and very informative response to my comment; it's much more than I had expected. You are right; this topic is one that is much debated. When a topic is debated such as this, I usually refer to actual definitions. So you have to ask yourself: does atheism fit the accepted definition for religion? I believe that if you take these two words, define them in an accepted dictionary, and ask just about any person, they would disagree. - Atheism does not replace religion – religion (or theism) replaces atheism. ... lots moreThe Brothers Winn
koolman2, Thanks for your nice words about the show. As to Atheism is not a religion: I predict this will be a topic as easy for society to agree upon as abortion. The problem is semantics. No atheist wants to be associated with the word religion for obvious reasons. - First off, the fact that atheists believe the opposite of what a person of faith believes doesn't change the fact that it is still the same thing… belief. Now here is where all my friends on youtube would jump in and say the burden of proof is on the religious. And ... lots morekoolman2
First: loved the show, it was very informative. Second: athiesm is NOT a religion. Dictionary.com defines "religion" as, "1. a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe..." The same site also defines "atheism" as, "1. the doctrine or belief that there is no God," or, "2. disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings." Atheism is the lack of belief of any form of supreme being - that's it. There is no set atheistic belief in where the universe came from, each atheist comes to that belief on his own.

HOORAY!!! The Brothers Winn are back! Excellent show you guys, but it's kind of cutting it close on your "new show in the first two weeks of December" promise. But know you have a new WYOTK quote... I HAVE THE POWER!!! Equals Dthe pants eater [22]
I am no doubt excited to see you guys back in action, but I must say, I don't like the theme song.hydrohead
Best WYOTK Ever!nick
First I got the quiz right, and second I disagree with your statement that the only reason churches don't endorse political candidates is to keep their tax exempt status. I think it is because there is no candidate that upholds every religious standard found in the bible, or whatever text that specific church uses. Also the part about the United States not being a christian nation you were correct about the fact that there is no government endorsed religion, however I believe most Americans would say they are christian, even if they don't uphold the standards in the ... lots moresudhir
I do not know why History Channel cannot understand this simple fact that they are so BORING. There only chance to make their shows interesting is by involving you guys. But i guess they are Bozo who never learns from their mistakeschancemuse
