But to me, it always seemed that the Judao/Christian world needed a
word/category that meant the opposite of what they believed to keep their
oppositional dualism intact. Is there another culture, spiritual tradition
that needs the word Atheist? I can't think of one.

I appreciate people not having a colossal knee jerk when I posted..

I just think that the Atheist should admit that Atheism is also a religion
and quit foisting it like they want everyone else to not shove God down
their throat... in the name of PC or what ever other crusade it seems to
justify.

Atheism has its dogma, its heroes, it villains and its martyrs.. like all
the other religions. If we are really going to separate church and state..
or be "universal" it should be included in the separation as well.. and
not made into the state religion.

I don't go around dip-sticking everyone to see if they have the same
fundamentals as I, or checking to see if there "God" elevator goes all the
way up to the top floor imo.

My personal belief is that sooner or later every individual is going to
have to acknowledge a higher power... call it whatever you want. Yoga and
Kundalini... (have to throw this in so I'm not off topic.. lol ) are a
way to discover that.. or find a way to relate to it or to bring logic and
emotion together.. or love and passion.. to follow the love thread in
some of the other posts.

The historical tragedy of organized religion is that the fundamentals get
blamed when the leaders, abuse their power. If men/women "rule" (control?
or dominate?) by their ability and NOT by authority it would seldom get out
of hand and cause the injustice we see the world over. It is when agency is
compromised that revolution becomes inevitable... in any religion. (or
relationship .. for that matter)
