Usually takes the form of something like
"I only have one life to live so I need to make this one count! Religious people are the ones who lack meaning cause they think if you die you just go to heaven so why try on earth?" |

You could call any group of people who agree on many things a religion then.

Yeah that's an annoying one. Plenty of groupthink in atheism but again a bunch of people who agree on things do not constitute a religion. There are atheists who push the boundary though, but those tend to be people who converted from some religion they were really into.

You can't say the same for other ideologies... Say communism. That's what differentiates an ideology from a religion. A religion is a specific kind of ideology that addresses but questions like what is existence, how did we get here, why, what should we do etc. It's more all encompassing. |

Ah so having an opinion on the nature of existence is being in a religion. Gotcha.
